Products

CD3-targeting bispecific antibody platform

A bispecific antibody platform that engages CD3 on T cells and tumor-associated antigens using low-affinity CD3 binding within an IgG-like format to favor antigen-dependent activation and improved pharmacokinetics.

Checkpoint inhibitor + VEGF trap fusion platform

A bifunctional fusion protein approach combining immune checkpoint binding domains with VEGF-trapping domains fused to antibody chains to simultaneously block checkpoint pathways and neutralize angiogenic signals.

In vitro cell-based screening system

Cell-based assay systems for rapid screening of bispecific antibody biological activity and for discovery of new surface antigens amenable to immunotherapy.


Services

Using modular bispecific platforms to design and generate bispecific antibody candidates for preclinical evaluation.

Design and preclinical evaluation of checkpoint inhibitor–trap fusion proteins that neutralize soluble immunosuppressive or pro-angiogenic ligands.

Cell-based assay platforms to screen biological activity and effector functions of multispecific antibodies and to identify cell-surface targets.
