Antibody Discovery

We ensure you take the best candidates forward through robust assessment & de-risking setting you on the right path to success. Seamlessly bridge from discovery into preclinical development & beyond with our enhanced capabilities.

Enhanced Antibody Discovery Capabilities

Accelerating antibody discovery to candidate selection through rapid and robust data generation.

Over the past decade a number of antibody discovery technologies and platforms have emerged driven by a new era of antibody therapeutics including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). It has become more challenging to pick the right partner. Abzena’s antibody discovery experts specialize in building the foundations of your program. We start smart, setting you off on the right path to success.

Abzena & Mabqi Announce Partnership to Offer Integrated Discovery through Development Solution - Abzena

Abzena & Mabqi Announce Partnership to Offer Integrated Discovery through Development Solution

Abzena & Mabqi have formed a strategic partnership that will integrate Mabqi’s antibody discovery capabilities with Abzena’s development and manufacturing services, offering biopharma customers a more streamlined, end-to-end drug development solution.

The partnership’s combined offerings will leverage Mabqi’s LiteMab Antibody Discovery Studio for hit screening, characterization, and hit selection by using universal & pH-sensitive libraries to identify top lead candidates, and utilize Abzena’s capabilities for developability, cell line development, process development, and GMP manufacturing.

Antibody Discovery Methods

LabZient™: Rapid Analytical Data

Our antibody discovery methods ensure high affinity antibodies and where required cross-reactivity with the target, and include:

  • Flow cytometry to determine binding conditions
  • SPR analysis (Biacore) to determine affinity
  • In vitro assays to demonstrate functional activity
  • Epitope binning to characterize and select optimally designed mAbs

Hybridoma Sequencing

Our experts have generated 100s of hybridoma cell lines for our partners with our 100%-accurate sequencing platform, giving you the confidence that you are taking the correct sequence forward.

Having a 100% accurate sequence is crucial. Especially true if your antibody sequence is to be used for downstream activities such as recombinant antibody production or antibody humanization. Unlike some methods that can introduce mutations at the start, by using primers specifically designed to bind in the leader sequence, Abzena can determine the authentic start to an antibody variable domain. This simple difference can be critical to determining the sequence of a fully functional antibody.
