Our Science
Developing monoclonal antibody (mAb)
therapies for dogs and cats
THE IMPACT OF OUR MEDICATION
Working to improve the quality of life for dogs and cats with debilitating diseases
At VETmAb BIO, we are developing medications specifically designed for the species in which they will be used. Our scientists use multiple strategies to discover primary antibody leads with a balance of diversity and affinity. We create antibodies that are caninized (for dogs) or felinized (for cats). This process allows us to target diseases with a medication uniquely designed for our dog or cat family member.
The Monoclonal Antibody Discovery Process
1.
Our protein engineers design the antigens
2.
Lead discovery using multiple technologies
3.
Screen high-affinity binders with high potencies with functional assays
4.
Assess physical/chemical stability and antibody expressibility to reduce cost of goods
5.
Caninize or felinize IgG to reduce immunogenicity
6.
Assess early stage developability and manufacturability
7.
Develop proprietary Fc technology by modulating the Fc function and PK profile
IN DEVELOPMENT
Prescription medications for dogs and cats with a focus on chronic diseases
VETmAb BIO scientists are pioneers in mAb technology with a proven track record. Our lead candidates are monoclonal antibodies and bispecific antibodies — a type of monoclonal antibody that has been engineered to bind to two different antigens by the same antibody — uniquely designed for use in dogs and cats. We are opening up new possibilities in treatment for a wide variety of diseases.
