On-Demand Webinar: Multiplexed Functional Antibody Profiling using Advanced Flow Cytometry
With innovations in molecular engineering and antibody humanization, monoclonal antibodies are one of the fastest-growing groups of biopharmaceuticals. Monoclonal antibodies are the pillars of many treatment modalities including CAR-T cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors. With the need to discover new therapeutic targets against challenging antigens, innovation in the antibody discovery workflow is paramount.
In this webinar, Sartorius’ Head of Product Development, Cell Analytics, Dr. John O’Rourke, will talk about the importance of early cellular testing for antibody functionality during the antibody discovery process. He will highlight the need for miniaturized cell-based assays to conserve material and to screen sufficient numbers of potential candidates, and how this can be addressed using the iQue® 3 Advanced Flow Cytometry Platform.
Key webinar discussion topics include:
- How the iQue® reagent kits are used to perform high-throughput analysis with the iQue® 3 Advanced Flow Cytometry Platform to quantify antibody dependent cell cytotoxicity, phagocytosis and antibody internalization.
- The use of iQue Forecyt® software to easily quantify critical functional antibody attributes and reduce time to answer, with real time data analysis and novel visualization tools.
- Highlights of case studies.
