Antibody Discovery
& Optimization

In vivo and in vitro workflows in a single accountable path to nomination

Advance programs from concept to candidate selection using Mosaic’s antibody discovery and optimization services, integrating in vivo and in vitro workflows. Mosaic integrates in vivo antibody discovery with proprietary in vitro display platforms and function-first analytics to generate, optimize, and triage leads that are both biologically relevant and developable.

Our approach combines immunization strategies across multiple species and platforms with de novo in vitro discovery, library-based optimization, and early developability screening to reduce downstream risk and accelerate confident decision-making.

Candidate antibodies are frequently evaluated using functional cell-based assays to confirm activity and downstream signaling.

Antibody Discovery Platform

Integrated Discovery Engine


Integrate in vivo immunization with in vitro discovery and optimization workflows to generate and refine functional, developable binders across diverse epitopes.

Proprietary Naïve Libraries


Fab and VHH libraries designed for formatting flexibility and downstream optimization, including common light chain strategies for bispecific development.

NGS-Driven Insights


Repertoire mining to profile V(D)J usage, CDR3 diversity, clonal lineages, and somatic hypermutation to inform hit triage and engineering.

Custom Library Optimization


CDR shuffling, saturation mutagenesis, and structure-guided designs to improve affinity, specificity, and stability.

Function-First Analytics


Early developability screening, binding kinetics, epitope mapping, and cell-based functional assays to derisk candidates before nomination.

Antibody Analytics
& Developability Screening

Repertoire Mining


Identify convergent clonotypes, broaden epitope bins, and trace affinity maturation lineages.

Post-Hoc Hit Expansion


Recover low-frequency family members around validated leads to expand therapeutic options.

IP Strengthening


Capture near-neighbor sequences to expand freedom to operate and build robust patent positions.

Developability Triage


Early computational and experimental filters for aggregation, PTM liabilities, and expression risk.
