Hit Expansion with Reptor
Expand Candidate Hits Using NGS
Missing out on diversity in your antibody discovery campaigns? Want to perform antibody optimization that is informed by nature?
Abterra Bio now offers companion bulk sequencing as a parallel service to our hybridoma sequencing. Hit expansion helps engineer better sequence diversity of candidates to evaluate, reducing wasted effort on analysis of identical candidates and increasing chances for success. Learn more about how Reptor can discover more relatives of hits from an antibody campaign in our recent case study.
Key Benefits of Hit Expansion:
10-100x more antibody candidates per campaign
Informed engineering based on observed sequence diversity
Antibody hits with diverse mutation profiles, mutation loads, and liabilities
Amplifying antibody sequencing and discovery
