Antibodies shed light on the treatment of cancers and numerous other complicated diseases. However, their poor pharmaceutical properties such as poor thermostability and chemical stability are not conducive to the retention of their biological activity, which leads to antibodies being prone to aggregation and thus producing strong immunogenicity. A larger concentration is required to provide the intended therapeutic effect. Therefore, it is highly important to increase the pharmacological characteristics of antibodies.

Antibody Thermostability Improvement
Inadequate thermostability of antibodies leads to aggregation and lower expression levels. Research indicates that modifying the hydrophobic core and charge cluster residues is essential for enhancing the thermostability of antibodies. Based on this, we provide several optimizing strategies for superior antibody thermostability:
Antibody Solubility Improvement
An essential aspect of the successful administration of therapeutic antibodies in patients is ensuring a high concentration of the formulation. This is especially important for addressing chronic diseases. To meet this requirement, clinical candidate antibodies need to possess excellent solubility and minimal viscosity. Our service has the potential to act as an effective tool to improve antibodies' solubility by drawing on the following:
Antibody Chemical Stability Improvement
Numerous chemical degradation processes can impact the stability of antibodies, potentially diminishing their therapeutic potency. We present various strategies aimed at eliminating degradation sites from the surface structure of antibodies to enhance their chemical stability.
Antibody Heterogeneity Reduction
Variations in posttranslational modifications, like glycosylation and N-pyroglutamine cyclization, can result in antibody heterogeneity and inconsistencies in antibody quality across different batches, leading to increased production costs for antibody applications. Therefore, our service provides pathways to suppress these processes that improve the homogeneity of antibodies.
