Frovocimab
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Frovocimab (LY 3015014) is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that neutralizes PCSK9. Frovocimab inhibits PCSK9 binding to LDL receptor (LDLR) while permitting the normal proteolytic cleavage of the bound intact PCSK9.

Biological Activity
Human IgG4 kappa
Human
PCSK9
Frovocimab (LY 3015014) binds to intact but not truncated PCSK9. The selective binding of Frovocimab to intact PCSK9 is related to its binding epitope, the linear sequence of amino acids 160-181 of the catalytic domain of human PCSK9, which is absent in truncated PCSK9. Frovocimab inhibits PCSK9 binding to LDLR while permitting the normal proteolytic cleavage of the bound intact PCSK9. Additionally, upon cleavage, truncated inactive PCSK9 is released from Frovocimab[1].

Frovocimab (LY 3015014; 5 mg/kg; i.v; once) decreases LDL cholesterol in monkeys and, unlike other PCSK9 mAbs, does not cause an accumulation of intact PCSK9 in serum[1].

Immobilized PCSK9 Protein, Human (HEK293, C-His, HY-P70545A) can bind Frovocimab. The EC50 for this effect is 2.837 ng/mL. -
Flow Cytometry analysis of Hela cells labelling PCSK9 (red) with Frovocimab (anti-PCSK9) (HY-P99626). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. Then cells were stained with the primary antibody at 1/200 dilution for an hour at 4℃. Goat Anti-Human IgG H&L (AF488) (HY-P83776) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution for 30 minutes at 4℃. Human IgG4 kappa (HY-P99003, blue) was used as the isotype control, cells without incubation with primary antibody were used as the unlabeled control (black).
