Most traditional antibodies target cell surface antigens (PD-1 and PD-L1, etc) or soluble antigens. However, ideal tumor antigens are often intracellular, (RAS, P53, WT1, etc). Endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) can recognize intracellular antigen/HLA complex, i.e. MHC-antigen-peptide, MAP, to activate T cells against tumor cells. But their affinity to the antigen is low, which often leads to tumor immune escape.
Biocytogen's TCR-mimic (TCRm) antibody technology platform is designed for the discovery of TCRm antibodies with high affinity and specificity compared with endogenous TCRs.
Advantages of Biocytogen's TCR-mimic Antibody Platform
1. Biocytogen's unique HLA/RenMab mice combined with a high-throughput antibody screening platform enable a one-step process to obtain fully human antibodies that recognize MAP (MHC-antigen-peptide), with higher affinity and specificity than TCRs.
3. Beacon-based high-throughput antibody screening and sequence analysis accelerate the antibody discovery process.
