“DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT and
OPTIMIZATION of ANTIBODIES for
RESEARCH TOOLS and THERAPEUTICS”

Overview


This conference will explore the latest research into the biology, optimization and applications of antibodies. Case studies will be presented that report on the current status of several antibodies which have made it to the clinic.

The Antibody Binding Site-Predicting Specificity through Structure 
Design and Validation of Biased Antibody Repertoires
Crystal Structures of an Anti-ssDNA Fab: Polyspecificity through Structural Plasticity
Use of Anti-Epitope Tag Antibody Microarrays to Display and Screen Recombinant Single Chain Antibody (scFv) Libraries

Antibody Potency Optimization
The Symplex™ Technology for Direct Cloning and Screening of Therapeutic Antibodies from Human Donors while Maintaining the Original Pairing of Heavy and Light Chains
Increasing Effector Function through Glycosylation Design
A Novel Antibody Display System for Full Length IgGs
Oligoclonics: Mixtures of Recombinant Human Antibodies Produced by Clonal Cell Lines

Antibody-Like Fragments
High-Throughput Parallel Expression and Purification of scFv, Fab and IgG: How Sample Preparation Accelerates Antibody Drug Development
Affilin - Alternative Binding Proteins and Their Use
Engineered Fc Case Study: Extending the Serum Half-Lives of Antibodies

Antibody Therapeutics and Diagnostics: Selection, Optimization, Application: Part I
Selection of Highly Stable Human Antibody Fragments for Compartmental Therapeutic Approaches 
Rapid Development of Anti-Chemotactic Monoclonal Antibodies

Antibody Therapeutics and Diagnostics: Selection, Optimization, Application: Part II
Engineered Antibodies and Antibody-Based Fusion Proteins as HIV-1 Inhibitors
Passive Immunization of Pigs with Llama Single-Domain Antibody Fragments to Prevent Foot-and-Mouth Disease 
Novel Molecular Evolution Strategies for Selection of High-Value Clinical Reagents, Targeting Cancers and Emerging Infectious Diseases
Relative Importance of Isotype Switching and Somatic Hypermutation on Antibody Engineering
