Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing detection methods are used, then PRB1 protein can be detected in saliva, but detection in serum is not effective

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection capabilityVSAvoidsample type range
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the amino acid sequences in the variable regions of the antibody (specifically the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region) to change the binding characteristics. This parameter change enables the antibody to bind effectively to PRB1 protein in both saliva and serum, resolving the contradiction between detection reliability in saliva and adaptability to different sample types.

2Measurement precision

If existing antibodies are used, then detection in saliva is achievable, but detection precision in serum is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidsample matrix compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by specifically modifying the variable regions (VD, VL, CDRs) of the antibody while keeping the constant regions unchanged. This localized modification approach allows the antibody to achieve high binding affinity and measurement precision for PRB1 in serum without losing its ability to detect PRB1 in saliva, thus resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and sample matrix compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
