Acceleration of Antibody Development Campaigns from Cell Line Generation through Functional Characterization

8 Mar 2018

Generating antibodies specific to membrane-spanning proteins in their native conformation is very challenging, yet crucial for therapeutic and diagnostic antibody development. The advantage of traditional cell-based assays is that they facilitate the study of antibody-antigen interactions in their native environment, however, they are limited by low sample throughput and require large sample volumes. This poster highlights how using the IntelliCyt® iQue Screener platform enabled ModiQuest Research to develop increasingly complex, multi-criteria assays thus reducing sample volume requirements, time to results and FTE requirements while maximizing chances of finding therapeutic leads in less time.

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.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
