Published purpose

We will use Cryo-Electron Microscopy (McGill University) and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry to study the mechanism by which antibodies bind to Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1R) and cross the blood-brain barrier. Sophisticated models of receptor/antibody interactions will be constructed and used to decipher the molecular events that initiate crossing.
