In this work, Anticalin proteins for biomedical applications were selected towards the extracellular domains of human and murine CD98hc using a combinatorial gene library and optimized with regard to their biophysical properties through protein engineering. Structural studies of the murine and human CD98hc proteins as well as their complexes with the respective Anticalins provided insights into the biomolecular recognition of these membrane proteins. The potential of the human-specific Anticalin lead candidate for translational research was demonstrated by experiments with cancer cell lines in vitro and in mouse models.
