Recombinant monoclonal anti-MET therapeutic antibodies are emerging as promising targeted therapeutics for the treatment of MET-driven cancers (reviewed in Comoglio et al. 2018).

Onartuzumab (also known as MetMAb), is an E. coli-derived humanized monovalent (one-armed) antibody that binds to MET and inhibits binding of HGF alpha chain to MET, thus preventing HGF-mediated activation of MET signaling. Onartuzumab does not display HGF agonism which is characteristic of some bivalent MET antibodies (Merchant et al. 2013).

Emibetuzumab (also known as LY2875358) is a humanized bivalent anti-MET monoclonal antibody which inhibits binding of HGF to MET and prevents HGF-mediate MET activation without exhibiting HGF agonism. In addition, emibetuzumab induces MET internalization and degradation, which further interferes with MET signaling (Liu et al. 2014).

ARGX-111 is an engineered anti-MET monoclonal antibody which competes with HGF for MET binding, acting as an HGF antagonist, inhibits HGF-induced MET activation, and engages natural killer cells to kill MET-expressing cancer cells, exhibiting enhanced antibody-dependent cellular toxicity (Hultberg et al. 2015).

SAIT301 is a bivalent recombinant anti-MET monoclonal antibody that likely acts as an HGF antagonist, but detailed studies are lacking. SAIT301 is thus annotated as a candidate HGF antagonist. SAIT301 inhibits activation of MET signaling by HGF and induces MET degradation that is independent of the MET E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL (Lee, Kim et al. 2014; Lee, Kang et al. 2014).
