Integral membrane proteins are attractive targets for research, diagnostic and therapeutic applications, as they act as biomarkers to define a particular cell type, developmental stage or disease type. As such, mAbs against cell-surface biomarkers are highly sought after as biological therapeutics, laboratory reagents or diagnostic reagents. Based on antibody phage display methodologies.6 AIBN has developed novel whole-cell biopanning techniques to improve the efficiency of screening antibody libraries on whole cells displaying biomarkers. The proposed collaborative project aims to pool the skills of AIBN and CSL researchers to further optimise the whole cell biopanning technique to isolate new mAbs against specific cell surface biomarkers that are of interest to CSL. The outcomes of this project would be further innovations in whole cell panning methodologies, as well as isolation of new antibodies of therapeutic significance.
