Biophysical and chemical properties are critical factors that can dictate success or failure in the development of therapeutic antibodies. These attributes and all the functional characteristics of antibodies depend on amino acid sequence, post-translational modifications, and the solution environment. Early quality control and risk assessment of biophysical parameters help prevent failure in later stages of antibody development. An early-stage developability workflow was designed to set stage gate for molecules progressing to late-stage development. Application of the Uncle platform in antibody selection will be presented in this webinar. Stability analysis of engineered antibody variants was evaluated using Intrinsic Fluorescence Conformational Stability (T_m) and Colloidal Stability (T_agg). B₂₂/k_D parameters for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in solution were determined and validated by Small-Angle-X ray-scattering (SAXS). Quantitative correlation between T_agg and particle size for mAbs was observed in this study.

Who Should Attend
