Targeted ADC Development Services

Targeted ADC Development Services

Selective expression of the target antigen on tumors relative to normal tissues provides the basis for ADC targeting to tumors and minimizes the potential for targeted toxicity in normal tissues. The abundance of the target antigen on the cell surface and its distribution in the tumor (homogeneous vs heterogeneous expression) can be important determinants of ADC efficacy. BOC Sciences provides a comprehensive set of ADC development services for targeted drug discovery, our professional scientists have extensive experience in antibody modification, small molecule synthetic chemistry, and bio-conjugation and are committed to providing high-quality services to promote the development of innovative cancer treatments. We have a dedicated custom development platform that is very convenient for our customers to customize different ADC products and services.

Overcoming ADC Target Selection Challenges

Comprehensive  Product Line

Insufficient Target Specificity

Many potential targets are highly expressed in tumor tissues but also present at low levels in normal tissues, increasing the risk of off-target toxicity. BOC Sciences employs tissue microarrays, high-throughput omics screening, and bioinformatics comparison to accurately identify tumor-specific targets, significantly enhancing safety.

Competitive  Pricing

Limited Endocytosis Efficiency

Although a target may be expressed on the surface of tumor cells, insufficient mediation of antibody internalization can impair ADC efficacy. BOC Sciences performs cellular endocytosis assays and colocalization imaging to identify targets with strong internalization activity, ensuring effective drug release.

Flexible  Ordering Options

Tumor Heterogeneity Interference

The same type of tumor may show significant variation in target expression among different patients or subtypes, limiting the applicability of ADCs. We integrate multi-omics databases such as TCGA and clinical sample analysis to identify broadly expressed and adaptive targets, improving development success rates.

Strict  Quality Control Testing

Difficulties in Evaluating Therapeutic Window

Some targets, though highly expressed in tumors, may also be expressed at low levels in specific normal tissues, potentially causing side effects. BOC Sciences conducts cross-tissue target expression analysis and toxicological risk assessment to help clients identify candidate targets with favorable therapeutic indices.
