Conclusions

  • The necessary technologies allowing generation of

recombinant antibody mixtures have been developed

− Symplex™, High through-put isolation and generation of lead Ab − SymSelect™, Rational functional testing and selection − Sympress™, Cost–effective, commercial scale manufacturing

  • Manufacturing of recombinant antibody mixtures with high

batch-to-batch consistency have been demonstrated

  • A release and characterization strategy for recombinant

antibody mixtures have been implemented

  • Improved efficacy and synergy using mixtures of antibodies

have been successfully demonstrated in several cancer models

  • Recombinant antibody mixtures under evaluation in

different clinical trials
