bYlok® bispecific pairing technology – an overview

The bYlok® bispecific pairing technology revolutionizes bispecific antibody production by ensuring correct heavy-light chain pairing, which is crucial for the functionality and efficacy of these antibodies, but has been a major issue when producing them.

With bYlok® bispecific pairing technology, we can achieve over 95% correct heavy chain-light chain pairing by modifying the position of the disulfide bond from the constant region to the variable region of the antibody. This adjustment drives the correct assembly of heavy and light chains, minimizing the production of disassembled antibody species.
