This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) aims to develop a comprehensive platform for identifying and validating recombinant antibodies specific to protein isoform splice-junction sites. The $205,926 award to Abbratech Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business in Branford, Connecticut, will fund the validation of existing splice-site specific antibodies and the generation of new antibodies using the company's proprietary "EpiVolve" phage display technology. This research addresses key challenges in protein-level characterization of splice variants, which is critical for understanding and treating diseases related to alternative splicing, such as cancer. The project is structured in two phases, with Phase I focused on validation and Phase II aiming to identify potential neoantigens near the amino terminus of G-protein-coupled receptors. The award has an ultimate completion date of March 19, 2025.
