| Popis: | Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are a well-established treatment approach in oncology and other diseases. Nevertheless, multipass membrane proteins are largely inaccessible as MAb targets due to their poor expression, membrane-dependent structure, small extracellular regions, and high sequence conservation between humans and rodents. Integral Molecular's MPS Antibody Discovery platform specifically addresses each of these challenges. Using this platform, we have isolated large and diverse panels of functional (agonist/antagonist) MAbs against targets including Claudin 18.2 and the ion channels P2X7 and Kv1.3. A key feature that enables the success of the platform is the use of divergent species for immunization. Chickens are immunized with a combination of DNA and Lipoparticles (high-concentration membrane proteins) to obtain high-titer immune responses against the native membrane protein. Our optimized phage-display protocols allow the isolation of large panels of MAbs against diverse epitopes. The MPS Antibody Discovery platform offers the potential for discovering MAbs against difficult targets in cancer with a success rate over 95%. Citation Format: Lewis J.
