Antibody Optimization Service
In the process of antibody discovery, high affinity and low immunogenicity are key factors for the success of antibody therapy development, affecting the efficacy and safety of antibody drugs. Our company has rich experience in antibody optimization and is committed to helping customers make research progress in the development of rare disease antibody therapy.
Overview of Antibody Optimization
Antibody optimization can improve the selectivity and specificity of antibody drugs, help reduce drug dosage, and reduce drug side effects. Therefore, researching antibody optimization strategies in the discovery stage enables the acquisition of better antibody candidates before entering antibody production. With the development of antibody therapy for rare diseases, antibody optimization technology is also progressing. Researchers should choose appropriate antibody optimization technology according to the characteristics of rare diseases, to more efficiently prepare high-quality candidate antibodies.
