Antibody-drug Conjugates (ADCs) consist of highly specific antibodies that recognize tumor-associated antigens and are covalently bound to highly active cytotoxic drugs through linkers. ADCs combine the dual advantages of targeted and selective antibodies and cytotoxic drugs with high anti-tumor activity, can kill tumors efficiently and precisely, and greatly improve the benefit-risk ratio of anti-tumor therapy. Currently, the FDA has approved three ADCs, Enhertu, Trodelvy, and T-DM1, for the treatment of breast cancer (BC).

Alfa Cytology can provide you with BC ADCs development services. ADCs can use directed antibody drug delivery to target cells expressing specific cancer antigens and release cytotoxic chemotherapeutic payloads. Our services include:
We provide a one-stop service for monoclonal antibodies for BC ADCs drug development. From the discovery, and production to optimization of monoclonal antibodies, we have many years of research experience in antibody development, and with this advanced antibody research platform, we can produce antibodies with high affinity and efficacy that satisfy you.
As the "warhead" of ADCs, small-molecule cytotoxins are the key components for killing BC tumor cells. We can provide you with high killing potency, a clear target, a small molecular weight, and the most suitable cytotoxin.
A proper linker design needs to take into account its stability in the systemic circulation while maintaining its instability under the appropriate conditions to trigger the release of the payload. We have many years of experience in linker design, and the linker we design for you can be structurally modified for optimization and can ensure that the cytotoxin is delivered to the target cell in the correct amount.
