Uncover primary receptors and off-targets

Retrogenix’s cell microarray technology is the most powerful solution for identifying the specific human plasma membrane proteins that are targeted by antibodies, proteins, small molecules, viruses and other ligands. We discover high quality, exploitable drug targets and mechanisms of action for our global pharmaceutical clients as well as screening for potential off-targets to inform lead selection and assist with safety assessment.

  • High success rates
  • High specificity
  • Low false positive rates
  • Rapid turnaround (6-8 weeks)

Our unrivalled technology identifies interactions with cell surface receptors by screening test ligands for binding against over 4,500 full length proteins that are individually over-expressed in human cells. This physiologically-relevant system, coupled with our broad coverage of the plasma membrane proteome, allows even low affinity interactions to be detected with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.

Retrogenix works with small biotechs and leading academic groups through to major pharmaceutical companies, currently helping eighteen of the world’s top twenty drug developers to bring new therapeutics to market faster.

Target Deconvolution
Accelerate phenotypic drug discovery through target deconvolution of phenotypic molecules.
Receptor Identification
Uncover receptors for proteins, viruses and more complex ligands such as whole cells.
Off-Target Profiling
Understand cross-reactivity to reduce toxicity-based attrition and aid lead selection.

We are delighted with the work that Retrogenix has done for us. Their technology has been extremely useful in identifying and confirming the cell surface interaction partners for our antibodies and other protein ligands. The work is always carried out to a high quality standard and turned around in good time.
