Applied Biomics Launches New Antigen Affinity Purified HCP Antibody with 95% Coverage

HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Applied Biomics, Inc., a leading provider of Host Cell Protein (HCP) products and HCP services, today announced the new Antigen Affinity Purified HCP Antibodies. The new product line expands the company's portfolio of high-performance HCP antibody solutions for use in biopharmaceutical process development and quality control.

Unlike conventional antigen affinity-purified antibodies, which often recognize only a limited subset of HCPs, Applied Biomics' Antigen Affinity Purified CHO HCP Antibody was specifically developed to maximize HCP coverage, an essential characteristic for capture antibodies used in HCP ELISA assays.

The antibody is affinity purified from Applied Biomics' goat anti-CHO HCP polyclonal antibody, which demonstrates greater than 99% HCP coverage. In an internal 2D Western blot evaluation against CHO HCPs, the Antigen Affinity Purified CHO HCP Antibody achieved 95% HCP coverage, compared with 66% coverage using a leading commercially available antigen affinity-purified CHO HCP antibody.

Key Features

• 95% overall HCP coverage
• Compatible with:
  • ELISA (capture and detection antibody)
  • 1D Western Blot
  • 2D Western Blot
  • Immunoprecipitation (IP) for immunocapture LC-MS (IAC-MS)
• Broad reactivity with major CHO production cell lines, including CHO-S, CHO-K1, CHO-GS and CHO-DG44
• Complements Applied Biomics' existing Serum and IgG CHO HCP antibody product portfolio
• Competitive pricing

The new Antigen Affinity Purified HCP Antibody further strengthens the company's integrated HCP solution portfolio:

• HCP antibodies: Serum, IgG and Antigen Affinity Purified
• HCP Antigens
• HCP antibody coverage services
• Custom HCP antibody development
• HCP profiling services, and LC-MS/MS based HCP characterization
