EPM Article: Cell Line Development Strategies for Bispecific Antibodies

In European Pharmaceutical Manufacturer’s June 2023 issue, Abzena’s Sr. Director of Cell Line Development, Nicole Wakes and VP of Cell Line Development, Simon Keen, were featured in an article entitled: “Cell line development strategies fit for a new era of Bispecific Antibodies”. In this article, they outline the strategies that developers must consider to overcome the challenges of developing BsAbs under increasing pressure for speed.

Introduction:
Advances in biotechnologies using molecules of complexity — such as bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) — offer broad applications in many disease areas, including asthma, macular degeneration, arthritis, and Crohn’s disease. When considering the production of these new-era biologics, a clear strategy is needed from the outset.
