Extracellular Domain (ECD) Protein

Extracellular domain (ECD) proteins are regions of membrane proteins located outside the cell membrane and are essential for signal recognition, ligand binding, and cell–cell communication. DIMA BIOTECH focuses on ECD proteins from single-pass membrane proteins and has successfully expressed 1,600+ high-purity ECDs covering 900+ targets, including GPCRs, immune checkpoints, tumor antigens, and metabolic receptors. 500+ targets are supported by matched flow cytometry antibodies. All ECD proteins are validated by SDS-PAGE for purity and ELISA for activity, enabling antibody screening, functional studies, and structural research in membrane protein drug development.

For Immunization

The serum titer of LAG3 protein as immunogen

ELISA results show high OD values of anti-LAG3 immune serum after LAG3 protein (PME100512) immunization across serial dilutions, indicating successful generation of high-titer antibodies.

FACS positive clones were obtained per rabbit after LAG3 protein immunization

Approximately 630+ ELISA-positive clones were obtained per rabbit after immunization, of which 260+ were further confirmed as FACS-positive functional clones.

Hot Druggable Targets

Immune checkpoint proteins

Immune checkpoint proteins (such as PD-1, CTLA-4, and PD-L1) are molecules that regulate immune responses, often by suppressing immune activity to maintain self-tolerance and prevent autoimmunity.

Hematological cancer targets

Hematological cancer targets (such as CD19, CD20, and CD38) are specific molecules involved in blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, which are used for targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies.

Solid tumor targets

Solid tumor targets (such as HER2, EGFR, and VEGF) are specific targets found on the surface of solid tumor cells, such as in breast, lung, and colorectal cancers, which are targeted by therapies like mAbs and small molecules.
