Function-first antibody discovery: Embracing the unpredictable biology of antibodies

Therapeutic antibodies may mediate antineoplastic effects by altering the biological functions of their target, by directly stimulating the demise of cancer cells or by activating antibody-dependent immune effector mechanisms. We have recently provided in vivo proof-of-concept for a “function-first”...

Sumario:Therapeutic antibodies may mediate antineoplastic effects by altering the biological functions of their target, by directly stimulating the demise of cancer cells or by activating antibody-dependent immune effector mechanisms. We have recently provided in vivo proof-of-concept for a “function-first” target and drug discovery platform in which antibodies against a multitude of tumor-associated antigens are screened for biological effects in a target-unbiased manner.
