Overview

Humanized Transgenic (HuTg) Mice

With proprietary mouse platforms comes a licensing process filled with legal fees, MTAs, royalty
agreements, and restrictions. These hurdles can drain time and resources before R&D teams can begin
 in vivo discovery campaigns. Our humanized transgenic (HuTg) mouse platform is license-free,
removing burdensome administrative barriers and supporting your path to discovery.

 

 

HuTg and DiversimAb – Better Together

Wild type, knockout and humanized in vivo platforms typically yield limited epitopic diversity, meaning
fewer chances to uncover promising hits. To circumvent this, we offer to pair our HuTg mice with
 DiversimAb mice  – a platform that generates a more diverse antibody repertoire – boosting epitope
coverage, functional candidates and your chances of success.

Humanized Mice: A Pathway to Preclinical Success

HuTg mice have been the origin for several commercially successful therapeutic antibodies. As in vivo 
antibody discovery evolves, humanized mouse platforms that generate robust immune responses and
human antibody repertoires are key to reducing immunogenicity, accelerating lead optimization, and
streamlining translation to the clinic.

 

 

Easing the Burden of Human Antibody Discovery

Our HuTg mice empowers your in-house antibody discovery efforts with faster timelines and at lower
upfront costs, without the administrative red tape.

Applications

Find Fully Human Hits in Weeks with Single B-Cell Screening

HuTg mice, like our DiversimAb platform, generate potent, highly-specific therapeutic and reagent antibody candidates. Both platforms are fully compatible with our Beacon-based single B-cell screening, enabling high-resolution, high-throughput hit identification and sequencing in a few weeks. Twist’s HuTg mouse workflow is particularly well suited for single B-cell screening, as they generate highly productive and active B cell populations, which is not typically seen with other humanized mouse platforms.

 

Hybridoma-Compatible Workflow

Twist also provides an end-to-end, adaptable hybridoma workflow for HuTg and DiversimAb mice that includes hybridoma generation, high-throughput screening, and sequencing to uncover promising hits.
