To decrease the immunogenicity of monoclonal antibodies derived from rodents, we use a rational approach based on antibody sequence and 3D structure by computer modeling and docking programs. In brief, steps include: hybridoma sequencing, analysis of the scFv by different bioinformatics and computer programs, generating best models and testing these antibodies efficacy.
Alongside ProMab's technology platform, we can ultimately retest these humanized scFvs in a CAR-T/NK setting using various in vitro or in vivo studies.
