   The current methods of antibody development
    are mainly hybridoma based method using
    mice, and phage display method
   Some companies also use the EBV
    transformation method which have several
    disadvantages including loss of specific B-cells
    and IgM type of antibody response

Unique proprietary method to capture and
immortalize natural human antibody producing cells
for in vitro production of antigen specific human
antibodies.
  it does not require isolation and purification of B-cells
    therefore no loss of antigen specific B-cells occurs, which
    is generally associated with other methods.
  it produces natural human antibodies, which has been
    innately produced by the immune system. It can be
    easily characterized for specific therapies and epitope
    mapped without recombinant technology.
                     http://www.bioworldantibodies.com            3
   antibodies against multiple epitopes can be isolated, and
    combined as multiclonal or polyclonal mixture which
    might be more effective than a single monoclonal
    antibody for clinical use
   once the donor blood has been obtained, it will take only
    6-8 weeks to obtain the monoclonal antibody producing
    clones compared to traditional methods which might
    take up to several years.
   if blood donors with previous exposure to antigen of the
    interest cannot be found, in vitro immunization can be
    done to produce human antibodies

   The technology uses a proprietary method to
    generate an antigen presentation system, which
    emulates the natural presentation of antigens by
    the immune system.
   BCL has initiated proof of principle studies to
    generate antibodies against specific tumor
    associated antigens by means of in vitro
    immunization using on purified antigens and
    peptides.

   For generating specific antibody producing
    cells, first we examine by ELISA whether aimed
    antibodies are present in the serum of the donors.
   this screening is completed in one day, and reveals
    which donors are suitable for human antibody
    development.
   In the next step, the antibody producing cells are
    immortalized from the donors where the
    antibodies have been confirmed to be present.

                   http://www.bioworldantibodies.com      7
   Transformed lymphocytes are dropped on 50,000
    wells micro-array (coated with specific antigen)
    and incubated for several hours.
   The specific antibody producing single cells are
    identified by fluorescence.
   The cells that are secreting antibodies to the
    antigen are isolated with a micro-
    manipulator, then expanded.
   The expanded cells, which now produce specific
    antibodies can be further characterized before
    transferring the IgG genes for other cells (CHO) for
    large scale production

                   http://www.bioworldantibodies.com       8
   Not affected by patents associated with other
    technologies
   Rapid progress from target identification to
    clinical development using epitope specific
    antibodies
   Clones can be selected targeting different
    epitopes on the same antigen
   Native human antibodies, therefore unlikely to
    be immunogenic or induce adverse effects in
    patients, which generally a problem with
    humanized antibodies.
                 http://www.bioworldantibodies.com   9
   Bioworld Consulting Laboratories antibodies
    are fully human antibodies, and of high
    affinity.
   Due to the high affinity and selectivity, it is
    expected that our antibodies will be effective at
    lower dosages, resulting in reduction of cost
    during large scale production.
   Each antibody developed has unique amino-
    acid sequence therefore substance patent can
    be approved.
