"We are excited about HealthTell's platform to significantly improve the quality of therapeutic antibody candidates in the process of drug discovery. We substantially enrich antibody binding information for our customers, and we have the capability to improve the selection of antibody candidates identified in the drug discovery process. This includes improved resolution of epitope binning, off-target binding, linear/structural epitope mapping, and key residue contributions," said Bill Colston, CEO.
HealthTell has applied their high-density array-based peptide library platform to characterize antibody (Ab, mAb) binding profiles and address key limitations of current approaches. Specifically: 1) Assays are performed in high-throughput 96-well microtiter format, 2) Low-cost, comprehensive and position-level mAb binding sequence space coverage is achieved with a 126K diverse sequence peptide array library to drive the design of a 17K focused sequence peptide array library, and 3) These arrays do not require prior epitope knowledge for library design, binding profile measurement and epitope identification.
