BELMONT, Calif., Oct. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LakePharma, the leading US-based biologics company offering integrated solutions for biologics discovery, development and manufacturing, today announced a non-exclusive license agreement with XOMA to use XOMA’s 031 Fab Phage Display Library in its antibody discovery service to pharma and therapeutic biotech companies.
XOMA 031 is a naïve human Fab phage display library with more than 300 billion clones covering the human antibody repertoire. Due to the high sequence diversity of target-specific antibody binders derived from this phage library, high affinity clones can be discovered for many targets. XOMA and its partners have used this library to discover several antibodies that are currently in the clinic.
Aaron Sato, Ph. D., Chief Scientific Officer of LakePharma, said: “The XOMA phage display libraries have yielded many developable, low immunogenicity, and highly potent antibody drug candidates that are currently in the clinic. For these reasons, their library is validated to produce clinical candidates. We are so excited to be able to offer XOMA 031 Fab library discovery projects to our clients.”
