Chimeric antibodies are usually too immunogenic to be used as potential therapies in humans. Humanization is the process to reduce immunogenicity and improve human immune activation against the antibody in a necessary preclinical step. Using comprehensive design software and advanced technologies including canonical scaffold simulation and 3D modeling, ABclonal assures the humanized antibody retains functional activity comparable to the parental antibody.
