Selected as an antibody producer for NCI's Antibody Program

FREDERICK, Md., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kemp Proteins, a leading provider of gene-to-protein and monoclonal antibody development services has been awarded a 5-year firm fixed Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) subcontract by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc. (Leidos Biomed), current operator of the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR), to develop custom monoclonal antibodies to novel cancer targets for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Antibody Program.

Central to reproducibility in biomedical research is being able to use well-characterized and defined reagents. The overall objective of the NCI Antibody Program is to produce well-characterized fit for purpose antibodies for use by the research community. The clones to be provided by Kemp Protiens are screened to select those antibodies best suited for intended applications. All selected antibodies are further characterized using methods such as Western Blot, Affinity Measurements, Immuno Precipitation, Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence and Reverse Phase Programmable Protein Array. All reagents and characterization data are made available at the NCI Antibody Portal (https://antibodies.cancer.gov). Kemp Proteins has been selected to assist in this objective by developing monoclonal antibodies against select cancer associated targets.

"Kemp Proteins is very excited to contribute to this fantastic resource for cancer researchers." - Mike Keefe, CEO, Kemp Proteins

Post this

To date, there are 943 antibodies to 567 antigen targets available on the NCI Antibody Portal. "Kemp Proteins is very excited to contribute to this fantastic resource for cancer researchers" stated Mike Keefe, CEO of Kemp Proteins. "The cancer research community needs standardized renewable affinity reagents that have gone through rigorous validation. Our team at Kemp Proteins will utilitze our suite of Molecular Device Clonepix2 sytems and state of the art screening and characterization services to provide NCI with high affinity reagents. We look forward to working with Leidos Biomed and the NCI team on this important initiative."

Kemp Proteins is a premier provider of customized solutions for protein-related challenges. We are "Protein Problem-Solvers" focused on delivering best-in-class gene-to-protein services that optimize productivity and mitigate risk for innovators across the life sciences. The company has over two decades of experience in production of proteins and antibodies for use in basic research, diagnostics and drug development at the pre-clinical stage. Core expertise consists of gene-to-protein expression in mammalian, insect, and E. coli, hybridoma and stable cell-line development, analytical protein characterization, and Upstream/ Downstream process discovery/ optimization.

Kemp Proteins' Process Discovery Services transition early therapeutic discovery programs to the biomanufacturing phase. Our teams identify key developability markers early in the discovery process while keeping scale and safety in mind. We use Process Analytical Tools in the initial discovery phase to identify the Critical Process Parameters required to derive Upstream and Downstream Processes that ensure Critical Quality Attributes are met. Once unit operations are defined for scale, we generate engineering and tox-material suitable for reference and NHP studies. The final processes are captured in Manufacturing Batch Records enabling seamless transitions to GMP facilities.

Kemp Proteins has experience expressing and purifying a wide range of proteins from antibodies to multi-protein complexes and virus-like particles. The company operates under an ISO9001- and ISO13485-certified Quality Management System and the animal care and use program is AAALAC-accredited.
