Immune Checkpoint Bioassays Power Combination Immunotherapy
Here we present the following bioassays:
- Co-inhibitory Bioassays (PD-1, CTLA-4, LAG-3, TIGIT, CD226)
- Co-stimulatory Bioassays (GITR, 4-1BB, OX40, CD40, HVEM)
- Combination Bioassay (PD-1+TIGIT)
- T Cell Activation Bioassays for bispecific antibodies and CAR-T

Summary
Therapeutic antibodies designed to block or activate immune checkpoint receptors are a powerful new approach to the treatment of cancer and other diseases. However, due to their biologic complexity the development of therapeutic antibodies requires unique functional and analytical tools. This webinar highlights the a suite of MOA-based functional bioassays for use in antibody screening, characterization, potency testing and stability studies.
