GenScript will launch services with GANPŽ technology for World Wide market excluding Japan

Piscataway, NJ | Posted on March 23rd, 2011

GANP (Germinal Center Associated Nuclear Protein) is a protein discovered by Dr. Nobuo Sakaguchi at Kumamoto University to be over-expressed in B-cells centered in embryo. Research suggested that GANP is important in the reconstruction of antibody genes. Transgenic mice which express high level of GANP can be used to produce antibodies with a high affinity.

"This technology will tremendously improve the quality of our antibody products in terms of specificity, affinity and epitope diversity." commented David Chang, director of GenScript's Antibody Department.

GenScript has developed a state-of-the-art antibody production platform to meet different customers' needs, including OptimumAntigenTM design tool, T-MaxTM adjuvant, and nanotechnology for antigen preparation. Her animal facility was accredited by AAALAC and OLAW. With access to GANPŽ Mouse Technology, antibodies generated from GenScript can potentially be used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes because of higher affinity and higher specificity.
