Phage Antibody Library

Phage Display is a powerful technology to generate antibodies against any target including conformation specific, non-immunogenic or even toxic antigens.
By using a highly diverse human library, fully human antibodies with high affinity can be generated after only a few rounds of panning Monash has now established its first in-house phage library (MOptiFAB) which has already yielded several interesting antibodies.

Monash University’s new proprietary human antibody phage library

• Monash researchers can now access the university’s own in-house AntibodyPhage Library (MOptiFAB).

• Developed by the Monash Antibody Discovery Platform using advanced bioinformatics and harnessing decades of combined experience in antibody development and Phage-Display.

• This is a unique tool available to researchers looking to develop antibodies to further their research.

• It has already yielded several interesting antibodies by targeting a range of different sized antigens across all major disease indications and successfully validated against several targets.

• This library uses Phage-Display technology to generate antibodies against a diverse range of important targets using fully human antibody libraries.

• Phage-Display, awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, is a versatile technology to generate novel and highly specific antibodies, especially against difficult targets such as confirmation specific epitopes.

• The library is fully Monash owned, giving Monash users the freedom to commercialise their findings with no obligation to a third party.
