Antibody Screening Service
In the rapidly evolving field of biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, antibodies have emerged as crucial therapeutic agents. Their specificity and versatility make them invaluable for applications ranging from therapeutics to diagnostics. At CD ComputaBio, we understand the importance of effective antibody screening in the early stages of drug development. Our comprehensive antibody screening service leverages state-of-the-art computer-aided drug design (CADD) techniques to optimize the identification and selection of high-potential antibody candidates. With our advanced tools and methodologies, we provide researchers with the insights necessary for successful antibody development.
Antibody Screening Service
In Silico Antibody Design
Develop customized antibody candidates using computational modeling. Our in silico design services allow researchers to model antibody structures based on known antigen interactions, optimizing sequence designs for improved affinity and specificity.
Docking, Scoring, and Functional Predictions
We use molecular docking to predict the binding of antibodies to the antigen and score the interactions. We also perform functional predictions such as ADCC, CDC, and antigen - specific functions. Additionally, we conduct immunogenicity screening to predict the potential for immune response.
Functional Assays
We also conduct functional assays to test the biological activities of the antibodies. This may include ADCC and CDC assays, as well as assays specific to the antigen - antibody interaction, such as virus neutralization assays. These experimental results provide a more comprehensive understanding of the antibodies' properties.
T - cell Epitope Prediction
We use computational algorithms to predict T - cell epitopes within the antibody sequences. T - cell epitopes can trigger an immune response in the host, which is undesirable for therapeutic antibodies. By identifying and screening out antibodies with potential T - cell epitopes, we can reduce the risk of immunogenicity.
Approaches of Antibody Screening Service
Virtual Screening
We perform high - throughput virtual screening of large antibody libraries. This involves using computational resources to quickly screen thousands or even millions of antibody candidates.
Automated Data Analysis
We use automated data analysis tools to handle the large amount of data generated during high - throughput screening. These tools can quickly process the results of docking, scoring, and other screening steps, allowing for efficient candidate selection.
Our Algorithm
At the core of our services lie our cutting-edge algorithms, meticulously developed and continuously optimized by our team of computational biologists and bioinformaticians.
Machine Learning
This algorithm is used for immunogenicity screening. It is trained on a large dataset of known antibody sequences and their immunogenicity profiles. By analyzing features such as amino acid sequence, sequence motifs, and structural characteristics.
Molecular Docking Algorithm
Our molecular docking algorithm is a key component of the antibody screening service. It predicts the orientation and binding mode of antibodies to the antigen. This algorithm takes into account the geometric and chemical properties of both the antibody and the antigen.
Advantages
