Workflow: A Clear Path to Pet Therapeutic Candidate

Our pet therapeutic antibody development process is thoughtfully organized into defined phases to maximize effectiveness, uphold quality standards, and maintain open communication. From early evaluation through to the production of research-grade materials, we guide clients through a clear and cooperative development pathway.

Fig 1. Pet Therapeutic Candidate Antibody Production Workflow.

• Required Starting Materials
  • Target Information: Provide comprehensive details about the therapeutic target, including protein name, sequence, species-specific considerations, and the intended mechanism of action.
  • Existing Antibody (if applicable): Share any available sequence data, characterization results, or hybridoma cell lines related to previously identified lead antibodies.
  • Project Goals: Clearly define the desired therapeutic outcome, specify the target animal species (e.g., canine, feline), and outline any performance benchmarks or functional requirements for the antibody.

Services	Description	Key Points	Timeline
Developability Evaluation and Optimization	Developability evaluation and optimization service is an early-phase step in antibody development, which aims to predict and mitigate risks that could affect manufacturability or safety. It ensures the antibody is optimized for the intended species and therapeutic use.	In silico and in vitro assessment: Evaluate antibody sequence for risks (aggregation, immunogenicity, PTMs, expression issues). Species-specific adaptation: Modify sequences (e.g., caninization, felinization). PK optimization: Enhance pharmacokinetics to increase in vivo half-life and reduce clearance.	2–3 weeks
Gene Synthesis and Expression Vector Construction	The goal is to create expression-ready constructs that can be reliably used to produce antibodies in cell culture systems.	Codon optimization: Tailor gene sequence for efficient translation in host cells. Vector cloning: Insert gene into a suitable mammalian expression vector. Sequence verification: Ensure accuracy through DNA sequencing.	2–3 weeks
Cell Line Development	Cell line development is a foundational step to ensure the antibody can be consistently and stably produced at scale.	Host cell transfection: Introduce plasmids into CHO or HEK293 cells. Selection and screening: Identify high-expressing stable pools or clones. Clonal line generation: Optional step to ensure monoclonality and consistency.	Stable pools: 6–8 weeks Monoclonal lines: 8–12 weeks
Cell Culture Process Development	Cell culture process development refines upstream conditions to enhance yield, maintain quality, and enable scale-up for larger production runs.	Optimization of culture conditions: Media, feeding strategies, bioreactor parameters. Scale-down bioreactor testing: Used to simulate production conditions. Process scalability: Ensure the protocol can be adapted for larger volumes.	4–6 weeks
Antibody Purification	Antibody purification focus is on developing a reliable method to isolate the antibody with high purity suitable for downstream testing or formulation.	Primary capture: Typically via Protein A/G affinity chromatography. Polishing steps: Ion exchange or size exclusion to remove impurities. Initial QC: SDS-PAGE, concentration checks, and purity confirmation.	2–3 weeks
Stability and Formulation Development	Determines how the antibody behaves under various storage and handling conditions and defines a formulation that maintains its functionality.	Stress testing: Evaluate effects of temperature, pH, and agitation. Formulation buffer development: Identify buffers that preserve activity and stability. Stability data: Support for storage and shelf-life planning.	Preliminary assessment: 2–4 weeks Extended studies: Project-dependent
Non-GMP Production	Creative Biolabs delivers research-grade material for in vivo proof-of-concept and analytical testing, bridging the gap before GMP manufacturing.	Scale-up under non-GMP conditions: Produce sufficient antibody for research or animal studies. Process replication: Use previously optimized culture and purification protocols. Documentation: Provide batch records and a certificate of analysis (CoA).	Scale-dependent

• Final Deliverables
  • Purified Therapeutic Antibody Candidate(s): The specified quantity of high-purity antibody.
  • Comprehensive Development Report: A detailed report encompassing all activities, methodologies, results, characterization data (e.g., purity, concentration, preliminary stability), and process outlines.
  • Cell Banks (if applicable): Master Cell Bank (MCB) or Working Cell Bank (WCB) of the developed stable cell line(s).
