Bispecific Antibodies: An Emerging Therapeutic Paradigm Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) are rapidly gaining momentum in the pharmaceutical industry as a revolutionary class of therapeutics. While monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have dominated the biologics landscape for decades, bsAbs offer unique therapeutic mechanisms by targeting two different antigens simultaneously. This capability enables novel treatment strategies, particularly in cancer immunotherapy,

Navigating the field of antibody discovery requires a careful balance of innovative methodologies and advanced technologies. Traditional approaches often face limitations due to biases, or risk overlooking critical insights. To overcome these challenges, a recent study delved into harnessing the combined power of Bruker’s Beacon® system and PipeBio software for antigen-specific and cross-reactive antibody discovery.
Adoptive cell therapy (ACT), the autologous or allogenic transplant of immune cells, is providing new hope in the ongoing battle against cancer. However, the path to harnessing the full potential of these therapies remains challenging, from understanding the intricate dynamics of individual cells to optimizing their therapeutic efficacy. Bruker’s Beacon® Platform emerges as a transformative
In the continually advancing field of biologics, it’s essential to search for new antibodies with distinct properties. The ability to screen primary B cells across diverse animal species broadens the diversity of recovered antibody sequences and increases the odds of finding the best antibody for any application across reagents, therapeutics, and basic health research. However,

SARS-CoV-2’s ability to evolve quickly creates ongoing challenges for vaccine development. The spike protein, critical for the virus’s cell infection, undergoes rapid mutations, making antibodies less effective against new strains. Traditional vaccines, with their lengthy development and testing timelines, struggle to predict these evolutionary changes accurately, leading to a constant struggle to keep pace with
The behavior of early-minted antibody-secreting cells (ASC) or plasmablasts post-infection or vaccination plays a pivotal role in the immune response. Traditionally, long-lived plasma cells (LLPC) from the bone marrow are regarded as non-dividing, while blood ASCs are thought to be proliferative. Traditional technologies that average bulk data or measure surface phenotype alone miss critical functional
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cancer treatment, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking immunotherapeutic approach, garnering FDA approval in 2017. However, the journey from initial success to widespread efficacy has been marked by challenges, prompting researchers to continuously reevaluate and refine CAR-T manufacturing processes. A recent review published
Researchers have used Bruker Cellular Analysis’ Optofluidic technology to establish the fastest high-resolution workflow for the discovery and engineering of VHH antibodies yet. Scientists developed a novel application leveraging Bruker’s optofluidic Beacon® platform to detect IgG2/3 antibodies from activated memory B cells derived from alpaca peripheral blood samples. B cells secreting PSMA-specific antibodies were recovered
Preliminary SpotLight™ Human Lambda reagent data to be showcased by GSK at the 16th annual PEACe Conference Bruker Cellular Analysis is pleased to announce that GSK will present data on the SpotLight™ Human Lambda reagent for the Beacon® platform at the 16th annual Conference on Protein Expression in Animal Cells, which is being held in Sitges, Spain from September
