Our Antibody Humanization Service provides a precise, efficient approach to minimizing the immunogenicity of non-human antibodies for therapeutic applications. Using advanced molecular engineering techniques, we modify rodent, rabbit, and other non-human antibodies, replacing non-human components with human sequences to retain binding affinity, specificity, and functionality. This process enables the safe use of these antibodies in humans, making them ideal for therapeutic use in a wide range of clinical applications.
Why Choose Antibody Humanization?
-
Reduced Immunogenicity
By replacing non-human antibody regions with human equivalents, antibody humanization minimizes the risk of immune responses when administered to patients. This reduction in immunogenicity is critical for therapies requiring long-term antibody use. -
Preservation of Binding Affinity and Specificity
Our humanization process maintains the original antibody’s antigen-binding properties, ensuring that the modified antibody retains the same high specificity and affinity as the original non-human version. -
Improved Safety and Efficacy for Therapeutic Use
Humanized antibodies are better tolerated in the human body, with improved pharmacokinetics and reduced immunogenic responses, making them more effective for therapeutic applications such as cancer immunotherapy, autoimmune treatment, and infectious disease management. -
Broad Compatibility Across Species
Our humanization service is suitable for a variety of non-human antibodies, including those derived from rodents, rabbits, and other animal sources, offering a versatile solution to antibody development. -
Accelerated Path to Clinical Development
Humanized antibodies meet regulatory standards more readily than non-human-derived antibodies, simplifying the path to clinical trials and regulatory approval. This service accelerates timelines for therapeutic development and clinical testing.
Our Antibody Humanization Process
-
Sequence Analysis and Framework Selection
We start by analyzing the variable regions of your non-human antibody, focusing on complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) essential for antigen binding. Our team selects the most suitable human framework sequences based on homology and compatibility, ensuring minimal disruption to the antibody’s functionality. -
CDR Grafting
The CDRs from the non-human antibody are grafted onto the selected human framework. Our experts carefully optimize this process to preserve the binding characteristics of the original antibody, adjusting only where necessary to enhance stability and binding affinity. -
Back Mutation Optimization
To further improve binding affinity and functionality, we perform back mutations by reintroducing essential amino acids from the original non-human antibody into the humanized version. This helps to ensure the humanized antibody retains the binding strength and specificity of the original antibody. -
Molecular Modeling and Validation
Using advanced molecular modeling tools, we evaluate the structural integrity and binding capacity of the humanized antibody. This computational analysis allows us to refine the humanized sequence for stability and functionality before laboratory testing. -
Expression and Production
The humanized antibody genes are synthesized and expressed in mammalian cell systems, providing a recombinant form of the antibody for further testing. This step ensures that the humanized antibody is fully functional and ready for rigorous assessment. -
In Vitro Testing and Validation
We conduct binding assays, such as ELISA, flow cytometry, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR), to confirm that the humanized antibody retains its affinity and specificity. Functional assays may also be performed to validate activity against the target antigen. -
Quality Control and Delivery
After validation, we conduct extensive quality control to ensure the antibody meets high standards for purity, stability, and activity. We then deliver the fully humanized antibody in your preferred format and concentration, ready for further research or clinical development.
Applications of Antibody Humanization
-
Therapeutic Development
Humanized antibodies are essential for developing treatments for diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Our service provides antibodies optimized for clinical use, with minimized immunogenicity for better patient outcomes. -
