Abstract

Background: Mycograb C28Y is a recombinant human antibody fragment thought to target HSP-90. Absence of in vivo efficacy led us to reevaluate its in vitro activity. Methods: Interaction between amphotericin B (AMB) and Mycograb C28Y were characterized following CLSI guidelines. Results: Addition of Mycograb C28Y and non-specific proteins resulted in a four fold decrease in MIC as compared to AMB alone. Conclusion: Potentiation of AMB by Mycograb C28Y appears to be a non-specific protein effect.
