Antibody Screening Platforms

Antibody Screening Platforms

  • Background
  • Platform Overview

The discovery of antibodies with desired characteristics, such as high affinity and specificity, is a crucial step in harnessing their full potential. Leveraging our team's vast expertise, we have developed robust antibody screening platforms that offer a wide array of services to facilitate the discovery and development of single domain antibodies (sdAbs).

Purpose of Single Domain Antibody Screening

Single domain antibody (sdAb) screening serves the primary purpose of identifying sdAbs that bind specifically to a target antigen of interest. This process involves screening large libraries of antibody candidates to identify those with the desired binding properties. Antibody screening platforms enable the identification of sdAbs with high affinity, specificity, and functional characteristics, making them invaluable tools in research, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

Platforms for Single Domain Antibody Screening

Multiple methods are employed in the screening of single domain antibodies, including phage surface display, yeast surface display, bacterial surface display, mammalian cell surface display, ribosome and mRNA display, B cell sorting, etc.
