The Importance of Early Biophysical Characterization of Antibodies in the Lead Selection Process

A critical aspect of the antibody lead selection process is assessing and understanding the biophysical properties of antibody lead candidates. An early characterization helps to reduce or eliminate development issues while allowing for ideal lead selection. We have developed a comprehensive early-stage assessment package that enables knowledge-based selection of promising lead candidates. This early biophysical assessment has proven its value in our development process.
