Cell-based Assays
ProtaGene offers state-of-the-art assays to evaluate the potency of your product for safety and efficacy.
Cell-based assays
- Reporter Gen Assays (RGA)
- Effector Function – Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC)/Antibody Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC)
- CDC: Does my mAb activate the complement system either on purpose (MoA) or as an unwanted side effect (safety & efficacy)?
- Reporter ADCC: Does my mAb bind to FCRIIIa receptor either on purpose (MoA) or as an unwanted side effect (safety & efficacy)?
- Does my mAb initiate apoptosis in cells expressing the target antigen?
