Bispecific Antibody Conjugation

Bispecific antibody drug conjugate is a cutting-edge technology in the field of antibody drug development in recent years. It combines the targeting capability of bispecific antibodies (BsAb) with the potent cytotoxicity of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), emerging as a new direction for precision-targeted therapy. BsADCs can not only recognize and bind two different antigens but also selectively kill tumor or diseased cells by delivering cytotoxic drugs. This enhances therapeutic specificity and efficacy while minimizing damage to healthy cells. BOC Sciences is dedicated to providing professional BsADC product development and custom services, offering a one-stop solution covering antibody engineering design, drug conjugation, functional validation, and quality control. Whether for basic research, drug development, or preclinical studies, we deliver safe, efficient, and reproducible services to our clients.

What are Bispecific Antibodies (BsAbs)?

BsADC targeting HER2 and EGFR with site-specific drug conjugation

Bispecific antibody is an engineered antibody that can bind to two specific epitopes or target proteins at the same time. It has the ability to bind two different epitopes at the same time and can play some special biological functions. For example, effector cells can be directly targeted to tumor cells to enhance their cytotoxicity, improve antibody selectivity and functionality, costimulate or inhibit receptors, avoid immune evasion mechanisms, and improve therapeutic effects. BsAb also reduces the cost of drug development and clinical trials compared with combined treatment with two monoclonal antibody drugs. BsADCs have a novel dual-epitope/dual-target binding mode, which can not only expand the scope of drug treatment and improve tumor selectivity, but also significantly enhance the internalization effect of the drug. It is an emerging strategy for the development of a new generation of ADCs drugs. Currently, ten BsADCs have entered clinical trials. BsADCs have the following advantages:

1 What do bispecific antibodies do?

Bispecific antibodies are a type of antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. This allows them to target two different molecules or cells simultaneously, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect. Bispecific antibodies are being developed for a variety of applications, including cancer treatment, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. They can redirect immune cells to attack specific targets, block two different signaling pathways, or deliver drugs to specific locations in the body.

2 What is the difference between monoclonal and bispecific antibody?

Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies produced by identical immune cells that are clones of a unique parent cell. They are specific for a single antigen and bind to a single target on a cell or molecule. Bispecific antibodies are antibodies designed to bind to two different antigens simultaneously. This allows them to target two different molecules or cells simultaneously, which can be used to direct immune cells to attack specific targets or block two different pathways simultaneously.

3 What is bispecific antibody conjugation (BsADC)?

Bispecific antibody conjugation (BsADC) is a technology that links a bispecific antibody (BsAb) to a cytotoxic drug, combining dual-targeting specificity with potent cell-killing capability. This approach enhances therapeutic selectivity, minimizes off-target effects, and is widely applied in cancer and immune-related research for precise drug delivery.
