Dr. Neil Bodie and colleagues at Paradigm Immunotherapeutics along with collaborators at Kyoto University and Michigan State University have reported on the design of an ultra-high affinity ACE2 variant that has been coupled to an Fc domain incorporating mAbsolve’s STR mutations for silencing and the YTE mutations for half-life extension. It is hoped that this … Read more

On Thursday 22nd September, our CEO, Geoff Hale, will be presenting some of our recent work on the analysis of Fc sequences from antibodies and Fc fusion proteins and the range of variants used for Fc silencing. Abstract: Over the last 40 years, antibodies and antibody-related biologics have probably been the greatest growth area for … Read more
Today our CEO and CSO, Geoff Hale and Ian Wilkinson, have had a new article published in mAbs. The work described in the article started as an internal effort to better understand the number of silenced antibodies in clinical development and the mutations they used. However, the goal of this work broadened out very quickly … Read more
On Saturday 10th September our CSO, Ian Wilkinson, will be giving a webinar to the Chinese Antibody Society on Fc silencing. To sign up click here. Abstract: Antibodies are nature’s pro-drugs, wonderfully evolved to target pathogens and activate immune systems. For certain indications where ADCC or CDC are required this is ideal, however, for many … Read more
On 5 Jul 2022 the UK Intellectual Property Office granted Patent number GB2595299 to mAbsolve. Publication of the patent is expected on 3 Aug 2022. The patent claims cover a range of variants in the immunoglobulin Fc region which effectively eliminate binding to Fc gamma receptors and associated cellular activation, without adverse effects on manufacturability, … Read more
