Specific Antibody Fragmentation

Antibody Fragmentation - Creative Diagnostics has significant experience in the fragmentation of whole antibodies. Antibodies can be fragmented to produce functional fragments using enzymes or chemicals. Fragments can be Fab, F(ab')2 or Fc. We provide fragmentation solutions tailored to customer needs. We optimize fragmentation conditions and work to maximize yield and function of antibody fragments as well as the purity of those fragments. Antibody fragments are commonly used for basic research, diagnostic assay development and therapeutic studies.

What is Antibody Fragmentation?

Antibody Fragmentation
Antibody fragmentation is the process of cleaving antibodies in such a way as to reduce them to functional fragments, retaining antigen binding specificity.  Cleavage can be done enzymatically (papain, pepsin, etc.) or chemically.  Common cleavage products and regions of an antibody include Fab, F(ab')2 and Fc regions.
The Fab region has a single antigen binding site. F(ab')2 contains two binding sites.  Applications include producing fragments for uses in which a reduced size is desired, such as improved tissue penetration, or to remove the effector functions associated with the Fc region, for example in diagnostic imaging.  Fragmentation is especially useful in therapeutic and diagnostic applications where a reduced size and weight may be desirable, for example to enable better tissue access or to reduce immunogenicity.
