Abstract

Infliximab is an antibody that neutralizes TNF-α and is used principally by
systemic administration to treat many inflammatory disorders. We prepared the
antibody mimetic Fab-PEG-Fab (FpFinfliximab) for direct intravitreal injection to
assess whether such formulations have biological activity and potential utility for
ocular use. FpFinfliximab was designed to address side effects caused by antibody
degradation and the presence of the Fc region. Surface plasmon resonance
analysis indicated that infliximab and FpFinfliximab maintained binding affinity for
both human and murine recombinant TNF-α. No Fc mediated RPE cellular
uptake was observed for FpFinfliximab. Both Infliximab and FpFinfliximab suppressed
ocular inflammation by reducing the number of CD45+ infiltrate cells in the EAU
mice model after a single intravitreal injection at the onset of peak disease.
These results offer an opportunity to develop and formulate for ocular use, FpF
molecules designed for single and potentially multiple targets using bi-specific
FpFs.
