Since the discovery of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs), engineering challenges have limited their development. Screening for bsAbs has been a major challenge in the development of bsAbs. This is due to the wide array of bsAbs present in many different species and in many different formats. These challenges make the functional evaulation of bsAbs difficult.

ELISA and SPR are currently the most popular methods for bsAbs evaluation but they are time consuming. Therefore, there is a growing demand for a fast, simple method to screen bsAbs.

In this application note, discover how ForteBio demonstrate a simple design for a bsAb quantitative assay on their Octet HTX system and how this system allows for rapid screening of cell lines expressing the target bsAb. Find out how Protein A and His1K biosensors are able to identify conditions quickly that are able for quantitative measurement of bispecific binding allowing for rapid screening of bsAbs.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.BiosensorsBiosensors are devices used to detect an analyte using biological molecules specific to the analyte coupled to a detector. Biosensor instruments may be photometric, typically using surface plasma resonance (SPR), electrochemical or QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) biosensors. Biosensors should be selective, portable, robust and sensitive and have a fast response time. Systems may be manual or automated and usually have associated software.AntibodiesEngineered AntibodiesEngineered antibodies are modified to enhance specificity, stability, and functionality for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. These antibodies are central to immunotherapy and biomarker detection.
