Antibody Reformatting Service
Apart from canonical antibodies, which are around 150 kDa and composed of antigen-binding fragment (Fab) and Fc region, a wide range of antibody formats can be produced through recombinant expression technology. These reformatted antibodies can benefit certain applications by improving solubility, thermostability, immunogenicity, etc. For instance, scFv is used in medical imaging due to its increased tumor penetration. Bispecific antibodies, on the other hand, enable the binding of two target antigens at once, which has a great potential in cancer immunotherapy and drug delivery.
As an expert in producing recombinant antibodies, Bon Opus Biosciences offers a broad range of antibody reformatting services including scFv, Fab, bispecific. A variety of different antibody formats are available and can be tailored to customer requirements.
