Crystal Structures of Antigen-Binding Fragment of Anti-Osteocalcin Antibody KTM219.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Osteocalcin is a useful biomarker for bone formation and bone-related diseases. KTM219 is an anti-osteocalcin C-terminal peptide antibody. The single-chain variable region (scFv) and antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of KTM219 are applicable to the Quenchbody (Q-body) immunoassay. Q-body is a new type of fluorescent immunosensor, which is scFv or Fab labeled with a fluorescent dye. When Q-body binds to its antigen, the fluorescence intensity increases. The highly sensitive detection of antigens by changes in fluorescence intensity is performed in a single step by mixing the sample and reagent. In this study, to reveal the recognition mechanism of the KTM219 antibody and to discuss the structural basis for Q-body, we solved the crystal structures of Fab of the anti-osteocalcin antibody KTM219 and its complex with the antigen osteocalcin C-terminal peptide (BGP-C7). Also, we solved the structure of a KTM219 Fab crystal grown in the presence of a fluorescent dye, carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA); however, tightly bound TAMRA was not found in the electron density map. We predicted the binding sites of TAMRA in the antigen-binding pocket by docking simulations. These results support the proposed Q-body mechanism. The crystal structures of KTM219 Fab would be useful for further development and improvement of Q-body fluorescent immunosensors.
