MCC is non-cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), such as MCC-DM1[1].
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are potent cytotoxic drugs linked to antibodies through chemical linkers, and allow specific targeting of drugs to neoplastic cells. Anti-CD22-MCC-DM1 is broadly effective in vitro against multiple NHL cell lines[1].
