COVID-19 Consortium and resulting Science paper validated the Carterra platform as a game-changer in antibody discovery
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah & LA JOLLA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Carterra, Inc., the world leader in innovative technologies enabling high-throughput biology, and La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI), a globally recognized non-profit research organization dedicated to understanding the power of the immune system to promote human health, announced today that LJI has acquired a Carterra LSA instrument to enhance its antibody screening and characterization work.

In 2020, while leading the pandemic response, LJIs Coronavirus Immunotherapy Consortium (CoVIC) partnered with Carterra to screen and characterize hundreds of antibodies from all over the world, bringing academic, non-profit, and commercial laboratories together to discover the best antibody therapeutics against COVID-19. Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and led by Dr. Erica Ollmann Saphire, CoVICs goal is to find the most potent antibodies against COVID-19 and its variants, the results of which could guide the development of vaccines and therapeutics for today but that also protect against future pandemics. It was through this collaboration that LJI discovered the power and magnitude of the LSAs capabilities. This body of work was published in Science in September 2021: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abh2315
The LSA was key to mapping the epitope landscape of the SARS-CoV2 spike, using the 400 antibodies in the consortium. That information was instrumental to understanding which target sites are still effective against emerging variants of concern, said Erica Ollmann Saphire, Professor at La Jolla Institute for Immunology and Director of the CoVIC consortium. Having seen what the LSA can do first-hand, through our collaboration with Carterra as part of the CoVIC, we now look forward to using this instrument to propel our own discovery efforts.
The LSA will support La Jolla Institutes discovery efforts of broadly reactive antibodies against a number of pathogens, enabling rapid characterization of hundreds of antibodies in the early stages, followed by in-depth analysis of leads during later stages of discovery. The LSA will also enable the rapid characterization of sera samples from vaccine studies, in addition to autoimmune and cancer targets.
Carterra launched the LSA antibody discovery and characterization platform in 2018 and has quickly made it the standard in 17 of the 20 largest pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, CROs, and government labs such as the FDA and the NIAID of the NIH. The speed at which antibodies can now be identified and characterized as potential drugs by Carterras LSA has improved on traditional methods by generating results 100 times faster while using 99% less sample. Sensitivity for finding the rarest of antibodies in a complex matrix is also now best-in-class.
Were proud to see the benefit of Carterras LSA platform being brought to bear for global good, says Tim Germann, Chief Commercial Officer at Carterra. Working with Erica and her team at LJI has been truly enlighteningthey understand the importance of breaking down the old paradigm of slow and inefficient biologics discovery. Bringing the LSA to LJI represents their commitment to leading the effort to end the suffering from pandemics like Ebola and COVID-19.
Other highlights from Carterras success with the LSA platform include the following:
