How much does antibody drug conjugation cost?

ADC conjugation typically costs a few thousand dollars. Pricing depends on: Required quantity Antibody format Need for antibody engineering Whether ProteoGenix supplies the payload Payload nature

How long does ADC development take?

Our standard timeline ranges from 3 to 6 weeks.

Can ProteoGenix generate the starting antibody?

Absolutely. We are experts in custom antibody development and can generate your lead antibody from scratch. For ADCs, a fully human antibody is often recommended. We offer two dedicated discovery platforms: Phage display service using proprietary human libraries (naive, cancer patient–derived, autoimmune patient–derived) Single B cell screening service combined with immunization of humanized mice We also offer off-the-shelf antibodies compatible with conjugation.

Can you optimize an existing antibody for ADC development?

Yes! Our optimization services include: AI-driven affinity maturation Humanization Developability optimization Antibody engineering for conjugation compatibility, especially for enzymatic approaches

Do you offer transient or stable cell line production?

Yes. ProteoGenix provides a complete continuum of recombinant expression solutions, from rapid screening to large-scale manufacturing. Our capabilities include: A high throughput antibody production platform designed for fast candidate evaluation A transient antibody expression service delivering milligram- to gram-scale material on short timelines A full stable cell line development service for projects requiring long-term, scalable manufacturing

Do you provide backup strategies if the selected format is incompatible with conjugation?

Of course. Your project’s success is our priority. Thanks to our broad toolbox, we always propose an alternative strategy when needed.

Achieve controlled toxicity profiles

Perfectly controlled Drug-to-Antibody Ratio (DAR)

Our chemical and enzymatic conjugation technologies are designed to deliver >90% DAR homogeneity at the ratio you specify.
This tight DAR control, and its distribution, is essential for reducing ADC toxicity and avoiding the site-barrier effect.

Broad selection of linkers and payloads

Choose from a wide panel of cleavable and non-cleavable linkers, with expert guidance to ensure:

High stability in circulation to prevent premature payload release
Fast and targeted payload release inside the tumor cells

We also offer an extensive selection of payloads to tailor the optimal DAR/linker/payload configuration for your therapeutic objective.

Get a complete ADC characterization package

We provide a full analytical suite, including: DAR, DAR distribution, drug location, % free drug, and all standard antibody QC measurements.
