Proprietary Immunization Platform to Break Immune Tolerance and Raise Antibodies Against Challenging Targets
Challenging targets include:
- Low Immunogenicity
- Extracellular Loop
- Conformational Epitopes
Three Key Components Designed to Mimic Natural Epitopes, and to Initiate and Focus the Adaptive Immune Response Against Targets
1. Immunogen Design
- Format: DNA, peptide, protein, etc.
- Molecular configuration: target sequence, immune-engaging element, and structural constraint scaffolding
- Immune focusing
- Elements to prolong immunogen expression in vivo
2. Stand-Alone Immune-Engaging Elements
- Attract APCs, facilitate B cell activation, survival, and maturation
- Prolong immunogen release in vivo
3. Immunization Regimen
- Heterologous Prime + Boost strategy for immune focusing and B cell maturation to generate high-affinity antibodies
- Proprietary host selection, formulation, immunization route, dose, and schedule
