IPA and RIBOPRO Partner to Advance mRNA-Driven Antibody Discovery, Unlocking New Frontiers in Immunotherapy
26 Fevereiro 2025 - 10:01AM
Business Wire
ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. (NASDAQ: IPA) (“IPA” or the
“Company”), a global leader in AI-powered antibody discovery and
development, today announced a strategic collaboration with
RIBOPRO, a pioneering technology provider specializing in mRNA and
lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technologies. This collaboration seeks to
revolutionize the discovery and development of therapeutic
antibodies by integrating RIBOPRO’s advanced mRNA-based antigen
expression expertise with IPA’s in silico and wet-lab antibody
discovery capabilities.
The collaboration leverages RIBOPRO’s expertise in mRNA sequence
optimization and LNP-based delivery with IPA’s advanced B-cell
screening, single-cell analysis, and deep-learning AI-driven
discovery workflows. Together, the two companies aim to accelerate
and enhance the development of novel therapeutics by improving
antigen presentation and immune responses, a critical step in
antibody discovery.
Transforming Antibody Discovery with mRNA Technology
The success of generating therapeutic lead antibodies towards
complex antigens using traditional immunization-based discovery
platforms may be hampered by challenges associated with the proper
expression of these antigens. By leveraging RIBOPRO’s proprietary
mRNA and LNP technologies, this partnership enables precise,
efficient antigen expression, thereby facilitating potentially more
effective immune responses and possibly accelerating the path to
discovering novel antibody therapeutics.
“Partnering with ImmunoPrecise Antibodies enables us to push the
boundaries of mRNA-based immunization for therapeutic antibody
discovery,” said Sander van Asbeck, CEO of RIBOPRO. “By integrating
our expertise in mRNA design and nanoparticle delivery with IPA’s
cutting-edge antibody discovery and engineering capabilities, we
can address longstanding challenges in antigen expression, bringing
forth new possibilities for precision therapeutics.”
Driving Innovation in AI-Powered Antibody Discovery
IPA’s approach combines advanced AI-driven analytics with highly
specialized wet-lab methodologies to design and optimize antibodies
with the highest clinical relevance. The integration of mRNA
immunization into IPA’s workflow is expected to further enhance the
precision and efficiency of their antibody discovery pipeline.
“We are enthusiastic to expand our toolbox for the discovery of
novel therapeutic antibodies with a state-of-the-art mRNA
immunization platform in this alliance,” said Dr. Ilse Roodink, CSO
of ImmunoPrecise Antibodies. “Combining RIBOPRO’s and IPA’s unique
expertise further strengthens our commitment to be at the forefront
of solving complex challenges with innovative and high-quality
solutions.”
