G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the most promising drug targets due to their pathophysiological role in the human body. However, at the same time, GPCRs have proven to be one of the most challenging targets for antibody drug development. In this webinar, we describe the use of next-generation DNA synthesis tools to overcome the DNA bottleneck in antibody-based GPCR drug discovery. Learn More.

We will also describe the discovery and creation of both antagonistic and agonistic GLP-1R antibodies by panning this GPCR-focused phage display library on a GLP-1R overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary cell line. In addition, we demonstrate the in vitro and in vivo functional activity of the antibody candidates.
