Description

Development of a novel immunization method in rabbits that improves the generation of antibodies against the native form of human proteins e.g. cell surface receptors. Subsequent validation of the method through functional characterization of candidate therapeutic antibodies in vitro and in vivo. The aim is the discovery of monoclonal antibodies as novel therapeutics for two different first in class targets in cancer.
