The latter include G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), flexible transmembrane proteins implicated in a wide variety of diseases. Despite a growing demand and the availability of several small molecules targeting GPCRs and modulating their activity, there is currently no GPCR-targeting therapeutic antibody in the clinic. This is mainly due to technical bottlenecks in conventional antibody generation. However, with the arrival of Immune Biosolutions at JLABS @ Toronto, this paradigm could rapidly change.
