ProteoGenix Human Immune COVID-19 Library

Apr 29, 2020

ProteoGenix has launched a Human Immune COVID-19 Library to facilitate the discovery of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Created using blood samples from dozens of recovered COVID-19 patients, the library is adapted for screening with phage display and features 1.2 x 1010 different clones. The phage display screening technology coupled with the library's diversity is expected to speed the discovery of antibodies with the strongest affinity, specificity, and viral blocking activity, the company said. ProteoGenix said that it also offers a broad diversity of ready-made SARS-CoV-2 antigens, as well as custom antigen development services. Within eight weeks, clients can receive three to 10 unique and royalty-free antibody sequences with optimal affinity.
