Strategic Diagnostics Launches Initial Oncology-Targeted Antibody Reage...(g how the Life Science industry andparti...),Health

g how the Life Science industry and particularly proteomics research has been inhibited by to the lack of high quality antibody reagents. The National Cancer Institute convened the Proteomic Technologies Reagents Resource Workshop in December, 2005, to identify the cancer research community's expressed needs for validated and well characterized affinity capture reagents, including antibodies, to advance proteomics research platforms for the prevention, early detection, treatment, and monitoring of cancer. Many of the available catalogs typically broker pre-made antibodies from multiple sources and fall well short of meeting the performance needs of today's biomedical researchers. With the launch of the SEQer catalog, Strategic Diagnostics is taking the first step to address this research bottleneck and meet a surging demand. We expect to build the fastest-growing source of oncology-focused antibody reagents which represents a meaningful share of the highly fragmented, $800 million annual market for catalog reagents."

Strategic Diagnostics' Genomic Antibody Technology(TM) (GAT) platform

Genomic Antibody Technology(TM) is a proprietary technology developed by Strategic Diagnostics (SDI). This high throughput, sequence-based, in vivo production process creates high-quality poly- or monoclonal reagents used in the discovery of new diagnostic biomarkers, unraveling the underlying mechanisms of disease, and as the basis of potential monoclonal antibody therapeutics. These antibodies are produced in 76 days and early adopters have tracked a first-time success rate in excess of 80%. SDI's proprietary protein analysis software selects the optimal sequence associated with the specific protein or protein region the researcher wants to target and/or avoid. GAT expresses protein in vivo, thus assuring that the antigen targets and fully engages the natural mammalian immune system. This enables the production of an antibody that reacts more often and with greater fidel
