Accelerate Cancer Immunotherapeutic Discovery and Development with Cell-Based, Clinically Relevant Assays

Immuno-Oncology (IO) is a class of treatment modality designed to augment the body’s natural immune defense against cancer. The IO space is currently dominated by therapeutics development programs targeting immune checkpoint modulators and cytokines as these molecules hold significant promise in cancer therapy. Another key modality is the modulation of Fc-mediated effector mechanisms of therapeutic antibodies, including ADCC, ADCP, CAR-T, CAR-NK, CDC, and other cytotoxicity-focused applications.

 

Eurofins DiscoverX® offers the most comprehensive products portfolio of cell lines, cell pools, eXpress assay and bioassay kits, and retroparticles to enable fast, effective, and clinically relevant understanding of IO targets, their pathways, and mechanisms to empower quicker development of IO therapeutics. Continuous culture cell lines allow for full-scale interrogation, screening, and profiling of IO therapeutic MOAs (mechanism of actions), while the ready-to-use qualified bioassays are developed to meet the industry requirements and regulatory expectations. Eurofins DiscoverX offers fast and seamless implementation for IO therapeutic MOA confirmation, stability studies, and potency testing in QC lot release programs as a thaw-and-assay platform.

 

Learn how you can rapidly screen and develop small molecules, biologics (peptides, antibodies, or bispecific antibodies), or cellular therapies for your IO drug discovery and development program.
