Creating an New Paradigm in Custom Antibody Generation

MorphoSys, known for more than ten years for its recombinant antibody phage display technology, is now offering a reagent service under the label "Antibodies by Design". Researchers can now get custom-designed recombinant monoclonal antibodies just 8-10 weeks after submission of their antigen, for $ 5-10,000 each. More than 10 billion antibody specificities from our new HuCAL Gold® library are waiting in our laboratories, ready to be screened against submitted antigens.

In addition to speed, this new service offers researchers a number of unique advantages. Since there are no animals used, ELISA-positive antibodies can be easily generated from as little as 0.5 mg of antigen. The antibodies are available in a choice of formats, monovalent Fab fragments and bivalent mini-antibodies tagged with 6xHis, Strep®, Myc, and Flag® protein tags and access to antibody sequences allows for affinity optimization and other genetic engineering.

MorphoSys HuCAL-EST technology provides a rapid way to express optimal antigen sequences from DNA, while automated screening and production technologies allow Antibodies by Design to rapidly generate large numbers of novel antibodies in parallel. These technologies will make it easier to address the massive challenges ahead of us in proteomics research.

The website www.AntibodyServices.com details the specific benefits of this new service in the areas of Life Science Research, Proteomics and Protein Arrays, Drug Discovery, and in vitro Diagnostics.
