EpiScreen® 2.0: Smarter Immunogenicity Testing - Abzena

Recombinant & Conjugate Vaccine Development

Applying our platform technologies and experience in proteomics, protein engineering, bioconjugation and formulation development, we design novel subunit and conjugate vaccine candidates.

Vaccine development has transformed significantly in recent times with the emergence of COVID-19 and scientific innovation moving medicines beyond traditional preventive applications to encompass innovative therapeutic solutions. Our team has the expertise and is ready to collaborate with you to move your recombinant & conjugate vaccines forward for the benefit of public health.

The first step in developing your vaccine should be to determine its immunogenicity in vitro. Traditional immunogenicity assays often do not have the sensitivity, and specificity required to de-risk downstream vaccine development. EpiScreen® 2.0 is Abzena’s innovative answer to the challenges posed. Our platform utilizes flow cytometry technology for precise, multi-dimensional immunogenicity assays.

Underpinned by our strong bioassay and analytics capabilities, protein expression, scale up and manufacturing services we are able to ensure that your vaccine is successfully delivered to IND for clinical trial evaluation.

Conjugate Vaccines

Conjugate vaccines rely on bioconjugation to enhance the immune response against a poorly immunogenic small molecule. Conjugate vaccines are a significant step forward in immunization technology, particularly for combating bacterial pathogens that have a polysaccharide capsule. These vaccines have made substantial public health contributions, drastically reducing the incidence of diseases such as bacterial meningitis and pneumonia caused by pathogens like Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), pneumococcus, and various serogroups of meningococcus. Future advancements could lead to more effective conjugate vaccines against a broader range of pathogens.
