Cooperation Seeking
Creative Biolabs is interested in collaborating with potential partners (include but not limit to major pharma or biotech firms) to further co-develop ADCC-enhanced TNF antibody. For commercial partners interested in our ADCC-enhanced therapeutic antibodies, Creative Biolabs welcomes collaboration. Here are two ways for your choice, and please contact us for more details.
1) Collaborate with us and co-develop the programs from discovery phase to IND enabling. Costs will be shared.
2) Become a licensed candidate of our programs.
Looking forward to cooperating with you in the near future.
Official Name
TNF
Full Name
tumor necrosis factor
Background
This gene encodes a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophages. It can bind to, and thus functions through its receptors TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer. Knockout studies in mice also suggested the neuroprotective function of this cytokine.
Alternative Names
DIF; TNFA; TNFSF2; TNLG1F; TNF-alpha

Biologic Classification
Protein Based Therapies
Monoclonal antibody (mAb)
Antibody Isotype
IgG1/3
Antibody Clone
Certolizumab pegol
Description
This clone was generated using a stable CHO cell line with the FUT8 knockout gene. It was 100% non-fucosylated. In an in vitro cell-based ADCC assay, the afucosylated antibody clone showed significantly higher ADCC activity compared to its wild type version. The binding affinity of the non-fucosylated Fc variant antibody to Fc receptor is much higher than than the same antibody with fucosylated Fc. Robust and stable production of qualitative fully non-fucosylated therapeutic antibodies is achieved.
Antibody Indication
Crohn disease
