Project Description

Please note that we are not a pharmacy or clinic, so we are unable to see patients and do not offer diagnostic and treatment services for individuals.

Antibody Discovery Service

Antibodies are versatile molecular binding agents with an established and growing role as therapeutic agents, which can provide significant benefits in cancer therapy. Alfa Cytology offers therapeutic antibody discovery services, providing clients with new directions in therapeutic antibody design.

Technologies for Antibody Discovery

With the continuous development of antibody engineering, the currently developed antibody drugs have fewer and fewer adverse reactions due to their high specificity. Therefore, therapeutic antibodies have become a major class of new drugs developed for cancer therapy in recent years. Nowadays, the superior antibody engineering techniques used to develop therapeutic antibody drugs mainly include the mouse hybridoma technique, phage display, transgenic mouse, and single B cell technique.

Mouse Hybridoma Technique

This method involves fusing antibody-producing B cells from immunized animals with immortalized myeloma cells to create hybridoma cell lines to produce monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with high specificity for the target antigen.

Phage Display

A library of antibody fragments is displayed on the surface of phages. The phage library is then screened against the target antigen to identify phage clones expressing antigen-specific antibodies.

Transgenic Mouse

Transgenic or humanized mice can be engineered to express human antibody genes, allowing the generation of fully human antibodies.

Single B Cell Sorting

This method involves isolating individual B cells from immunized animals or human donors and screening them for antigen-specific antibodies.
