ANTIBODY SERVICES BY APPLICATION / BIOLOGICAL DRUG CANDIDATE GENERATION

Biological Drug Candidate Generation

Do you need a biological drug candidate against a particular target protein? The camelid antibodies (a.k.a. nanobodies) serves the perfect base for a drug candidate, as they are single-chain and smaller then a regular immunoglobulin. We routinely generate nanobodies that are specific towards drug-target proteins, a solid service we have developed from the ground up.

This is one of our best-selling services, with a close to 100% success rate of target-specific nanobody generation.

Advantages of alpaca nanobodies

A recombinant target-specific nanobody (VHH) is a protein which is single-chain, smaller and generally more a stablet than a normal antibody. Another advantage is that the production cost is less than half of a normal recombinant antibody. Your unique VHH can be (1) fused into functional domain systems for drug development, (2) fused with a tag for detection of your choice, to be used in assays, and (3) humanized.

Suitable host

Monoclonal alpaca antibody generation is suitable.

Why produce target-validated monoclonal nanobody/drug candidate with Capra Science

  • Custom production of antigen-specific single-chain VHH, generated from immunized alpaca immune cells using novel cutting-edge molecular biology techniques and know-how.

  • One big advantage of our method is that we use a mammalian system throughout the whole process, which results in a minimal amount of positive candidates failing in expression system transfers down the line.

  • We never work with subcontractors but do everything onsite.

  • Certificate (CoA), QC-ELISA, SDS-PAGE results are available with production batch.

  • Delivery of sequences and affinity purified target-specific VHH antibodies, ready for you to test, generally after 5-6 months from start of immunization program.

  • Every antigen and antibody generation is unique. We customize every project in order to deliver the best possible antibodies for every project.

  • Our ethical standards are of the highest priority.
