Human Papillomavirus 16-associated cancer, affecting primarily the uterine cervix but, increasingly, other body districts, including the head–neck area, will long be a public health problem, despite there being a vaccine. Since the virus oncogenic activity is fully ascribed to the viral E6 and E7 oncoproteins, one of the therapeutic approaches for HPV16 cancer is based on specific antibodies in single-chain format targeting the E6/E7 activity. We analyzed the Complementarity Determining Regions, repositories of antigen-binding activity, of four anti-HPV16 E6 and -HPV16 E7 scFvs, to highlight possible conformity to biophysical properties, recognized to be advantageous for therapeutic use. By epitope mapping, using E7 mutants with amino acid deletions or variations, we investigated differences among the anti-16E7 scFvs in terms of antigen-binding capacity. We also performed computational analyses to determine whether length, total net charge, surface hydrophobicity, polarity and charge distribution conformed well to those of the antibodies that had already reached clinical use, through the application of developability guidelines derived from recent literature on clinical-stage antibodies, and the Therapeutic Antibodies Profiler software. Overall, our findings show that the scFvs investigated may represent valid candidates to be developed as therapeutic molecules for clinical use, and highlight characteristics that could be improved by molecular engineering.
