Fusion Antibodies ltd to Humanize Chicken Antibody Sequences in Collaboration with Chiome Bioscience Inc.
Belfast, UK/Tokyo, Japan (PRWEB UK) 24 September 2014 -- UK based contract research organisation Fusion Antibodies has signed a material transfer agreement with Tokyo based biotechnology company Chiome Bioscience, inventors of the ADLib® system, to design a humanize antibody using Fusion Antibodies in silico humanization platform. The collaboration will allow Fusion Antibodies to expand its CDRx Humanization platform which has already proven highly successful with Murine, Rat and Rabbit sequences.
The ADLib® system is an innovative technology for antibody generation by leveraging gene conversion of chicken DT40 cells. It generates antibodies quite fast, potentially in about 10 days entirely in vitro. Also it generates antibodies with, theoretically, unlimited diversity, which allows for the development of antibodies that have been considered to be difficult by currently available methods. Chiome has also successfully developed libraries that generate directly human IgG antibody from DT40 cells. ADLib® is the trademark of Chiome Bioscience.
Fusion Antibodies anticipate that its robust in silico computer CDRx platform and expertise will allow a rapid and successful humanization of a new species. The project is due to commence with results expected towards the end of 2014.
