Antibody Sequencing Service.

REmAb® has been the world leading antibody sequencing service since 2015, with unmatched throughput and accuracy. De novo Antibody Sequencing determines the amino acid sequence of monoclonal antibodies using mass spectrometry. Our proprietary antibody protein sequencing technology offers full coverage, speed and leucine-isoleucine determination.

How Antibody Sequencing Works.

The REmAb® de novo antibody sequencing workflow delivers the complete antibody sequence, including complementarity determining regions (CDR), with unparalleled accuracy and reliability. Starting with just 50μg of purified antibody, the sample undergoes multi-enzyme digestions. The fragments are measured with LC-MS/MS for de novo sequencing of the peptides. These peptides are analyzed by Rapid Novor’s suite of bioinformatics algorithms to assemble the full-length heavy and light chain antibody sequences. Monoclonal antibody sequencing works on any species and isotype.

Our antibody sequencing platform delivers high quality coverage across the full antibody sequence, variable region and constant region, with hundreds of overlapped peptides. This is a de novo sequencing method – it does not require database or sequence data for reference or homology.

WILD® Isoleucine-Leucine Determination.

Isobaric combinations with confidence: our patented WILD® method was the first commercial service to use additional peptide fragmentation via electron transfer high collision energy dissociation (EThcD) to create and analyze w-ions. This enables true Isoleucine-Leucine determination based on experimental evidence alone. Our unique and patented WILDtag chemistry increases coverage and confidence in isobaric assignments.

WILD Isoluecine-Leucine determination allows us to obtain 100% accurate protein sequence with highest industry coverage

De Novo Sequencing of Any Isotype From Any Species.

We’ve worked with all isotypes and popular constructs, including bispecific, chimeric antibodies, nanobodies and fAbs. Secure 100% coverage of variable domains and obtain antibody sequences that recognize the right antigen with our de novo sequencing service.

Antibody Sequencing Success Stories.

“You are certainly the best CRO we’ve ever worked with!❤️”

Roya Servattalab, Scientist II, Marengo Therapeutics

“We’ve focused on coupling cytokines with highly engineered VHVL of an antibody. So by sequencing the antibodies with Rapid Novor we are able to pull out the CDR to grant them into our platform and test in vitro and in vivo”

Pavel Khrimian, Co-Founder & CBO, Deka BioSciences

“Rapid Novor was tasked with finding highly specific, high affinity antibodies against an important target – and they delivered powerful antibodies fit-for-purpose. Such antibodies are not easily obtained yet Rapid Novor approach proved immediately successful, despite our time-constrained and stringent demands”
