Webinar Description:

• In vivo antibody discovery using transgenic/humanized mice is of rising importance for the antibody community as it offers a multitude of benefits over in vitro methods.
• Benefits of in vivo method for antibody discovery and latest technical data including affinity and antibody repertoire analysis for RenMab™ Antibodies
• Brief communication of RenMab Mouse in the production of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies as an on-going project
• Development of RenMab platform to address difficult target (such as GPCR) through “RenMab + target knockout” (Project Integrum), as well as novel fully human antibody mice for bispecific and single-domain antibodies, respectively

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the pros and cons of in vivo and in vitro antibody discovery platform
• Learn about the latest application of in vivo platform for human antibody discovery
• Learn about some key features of fully human antibody mouse (RenMab Mouse) and its novel design strategy
• Explore the latest in-depth validation data of the fully human antibody mouse (RenMab Mouse) compared to wild-type mouse
• Analysis of RenMab Antibodies and recent work related to immunization of RenMab Mouse with SARS-CoV-2 antigen
• How RenMab platform is expended to cover the unsolved challenges in antibody discovery
