Therapeutic Antibody Discovery

Never LOSE Your Therapeutic Antibody Program at the Start Line

Therapeutic Antibody Discovery Services

Blockbusters (such as Humira, Enbrel and Herceptin) achieved huge success because of proven clinical efficacy, strong market demand, thourough IP protection and market penetration strategies. The strict R&D standards are the cornerstones of blockbuster.

In the past 10 years, GenScript ProBio has been sticking to the "blockbuster" standards to manage, research and deliver every therapeutic programs. GenScript ProBio delivers humanized, human and bispecific antibody leads with good biological efficacy, safety & manufacturability in 12-15 months, as your one-stop solution from Targets to Therapeutic Antibody Candidates.

Case Study: Discovery of Therapeutic Antibody Against An Immune Checkpoint Target

Lead Generation

  • 12 antibody leads recognizing 2 distinct epitopes were obtained.
  • 2 antibody leads with different epitopes were moved forward to lead optimization.

Lead Optimization

  • 2 antibody leads were humanized and then tested by functional assay.
  • Their developabilities were evaluated by both experimental & predicted approaches.
