ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s industry-leading expertise, methods, and purpose-built laboratories help to guide a steady, efficient path through regulatory approval for monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies, the fastest-expanding class of protein therapeutics.

To build a lasting therapeutic franchise, leading healthcare brands must actively push for the very best in safety and efficacy while bringing therapies to patients as quickly as possible. Monoclonal antibody therapies have significant potential, but they also present significant risks, reinforcing the need for a partnership with trusted a CDMO that excels in monoclonal antibody characterization and analysis.

When targeted monoclonal antibodies are cloned from immune cells, a mass of high-affinity molecules are released that can bind vital antigens to everything from cancer cells to pathogens. However, immunogenicity is an ongoing challenge, and competition in the market is growing with the introduction of biosimilars. At ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, we’re always one step ahead, exceling in QC-minded monoclonal antibody characterization and analysis. We offer a range of critical analytical tests to ensure the highest safety, reproducibility, and yield prior to large-scale biomanufacturing. As a true partner, we advise and work alongside clients to develop a robust data package and efficient regulatory submission strategy.

Industry-leading support for monoclonal antibody specificity and sensitivity testing

Within the next decade, the global therapeutic antibody market is expected to double, partly due to the addition of emerging technologies such as phage display. In addition to navigating established analytical challenges, including screening multitudes of clonal variants for specificity, drug developers and researchers must be proactive about the scalability of process methods.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s scientists understand the impact of solubility, stability, and distribution in monoclonal antibody development. With a proactive QC-mindset, our teams work alongside clients to pre-empt manufacturing challenges, ensuring a holistic view of cell productivity and critical quality attributes is maintained throughout the entire engagement. Even with the additional complexities brought on by antibody humanization and glycosylation, we generate needed data efficiently and effectively, helping companies reach their commercial goals.
