Griffin: Accessing functional antibodies from serum without B cells
Griffin is a platform for sequencing polyclonal antibodies using mass spectrometry. Since 2009, Abterra Biosciencs founders and employees have been developing novel methods for sequencing antibody proteins directly. Our monoclonal antibody sequencing service, Valens, has been used to successfully sequence hundreds of antibodies without the need for B cells. Now, with Griffin, we can sequencing complex mixes of antibodies directly from patient serum, or from immunized animals.
Watch our CEO, Dr. Natalie Castellana’s presentation on Unlocking the Serum Antibody Repertoire: Accessing Functional Antibodies without B Cells to learn how Griffin works.
