    The success of many cancer therapeutics lies in their ability to induce ADCC, ADCP and CDC against specific targets - making appropriate assessment even more crucial before progressing a drug into the clinic. At Festival of Biologics in Basel earlier this month, our Sr. Manager of Bioassay, Rosa Gonzàlez Serrano, presented a poster on the key aspects for developing successful Fc effector functional assays, the benefits and challenges of a panel of assay formats for different purposes and options for choosing the most suitable target cell lines, effector cells and appropriate controls. Interested in learning more about our comprehensive suite of assays that can de-risk your antibodies, Fc fusions or ADC products, click here to get a copy of the poster: https://lnkd.in/gfxJXqNY #Bioassay #EffectorFunction #CRO #DrugDevelopment #Biologics

    Antibody-Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOCs) have the potential to transform therapies. However, the development of AOCs is far from straightforward. While AOCs & ADCs share structural similarities, their development processes differ significantly due to the complexity of oligo payloads in AOCs. These differences present distinct technical and analytical challenges that developers must address. In our latest article in Outsourced Pharma, our AOC experts, Jeffrey C. Mocny, Ph.D. & Stephen Verespy discuss the scientific ingenuity necessary to develop these complex molecules and the regulatory considerations to ensure a smooth pathway to approval. Access the article to get a better understanding of the intricate chemistry and technical expertise required to successfully develop and manufacture these complex molecules: https://lnkd.in/g2aCNXFG #AOCs #Bioconjugates #CDMO #CRO #DrugDevelopment

    Our latest cell line development whitepaper explores two primary approaches to generating stable cell lines – random integration and semi-targeted (or transposase) integration, and how they can differ in their impact on expression, variability, scalability, and regulatory approval. Key Takeaways include: - Random integration can match or exceed semi-targeted integration in productivity, stability, and process robustness.  - Random integration offers flexibility and lower complexity, avoiding reliance on proprietary transposase systems.  - With optimized vectors and screening, Random integration delivers high-quality clones efficiently.  - Semi-targeted methods may not always justify their cost or complexity.  - Drug developers should choose integration strategies based on context, not hype Rather than declaring one approach categorically better, this whitepaper advocates for context-driven CLD decisions, empowering the drug developer to reconsider assumptions and embrace the method best suited for their program. Access the whitepaper to determine which CLD approach is best for your molecule, timeline, and budget: https://lnkd.in/gsHyyE7t #CellLineDevelopment #CRO #CDMO #DrugDevelopment #Biologics
