AbYlink™ is a regio-selective bioconjugation technology ideally suited for preparing conjugates for use in therapeutic and non-invasive diagnostic applications. Oncodesign Services will use this cutting-edge technology to prepare antibody chelator conjugates for use in preclinical studies to gain insights into the predictive effectiveness of novel treatment approaches in Molecular Radiotherapy, and particularly Radioimmunotherapy in the context of cancer. A joint poster will be presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2025 to demonstrate the use of the non-invasive technology in Radioimmunotherapy, targeting animal models bearing HER2+ tumors.
“We have demonstrated the effectiveness of this powerful technology to rapidly and covalently conjugate any off-the-shelf antibody in a single step with an imaging agent. Our strategic collaboration with Oncodesign Services allows broader access to and usage of non-invasive imaging applications and provides an innovative solution to biotech and pharma partners to integrate imagery in the development of new antibody- and ADC-based therapeutics,” commented Frédéric Lévy, Chief Scientific Officer at Debiopharm.
Aidan Synnott, CEO of Oncodesign Services, said, “We are pleased to integrate this cutting-edge technology into our portfolio for our clients. The AbYlink™ technology gives the advantage of generating reproducible batches of bioconjugated antibodies and ADCs that secure specificity and efficacy of targeted radiotherapy.”
About AbYlink™
AbYlink™ is a versatile and rapid regio-selective chemical conjugation technology for use to prepare diagnostic or therapeutic conjugates. This one-step method results in stable conjugation at defined and invariable sites on the Fc domain of an antibody or the like, with no impact on antigen-binding regions. It enables a seamless and reproducible conjugation of payloads (e.g., a chelator for radiolabeling, a fluorescent dye or a drug) to antibodies or ADCs. The universal applicability of the technology has been demonstrated for various antibody isotypes and payloads.
