antibody discovery expertise
Find functional candidates early.
B cell Select® is designed to bring functional relevance into rabbit antibody discovery early, helping teams move beyond binding alone and focus on the candidates aligned with program goals.
The advantage is in the combination:
+ Deep access to diverse, in vivo-matured immune responses
+ Antigen-specific memory B cell enrichment to recover relevant candidates
+ Function-first screening early in discovery
+ Native heavy/light chain pair recovery
+ A broader, functionally resolved candidate landscape
Proprietary B cell Select® is designed to capture biological diversity at the onset and translate it into relevant, functional candidates.
Integrated data and AI, built around your program needs
With the flexibility to integrate LensAI™ and ReefIQ™ around each program, teams can extend B cell Select® with fit-for-purpose analytics, connected program data, and biological context for deeper candidate evaluation and advancement decisions.

FAQs
-
What is B cell Select®?
B cell Select® is MindWalk’s proprietary rabbit B cell antibody discovery platform, combining antigen-specific B cell enrichment, early primary B cell screening, native heavy/light-chain recovery, and custom functional characterization options tailored to your unique target and biology.
-
What is function-first antibody discovery?
Function-first antibody discovery introduces relevant biological or application-specific activity early enough to influence which antibodies move forward rather than prioritizing candidates on binding alone.
-
What are the unique advantages to using a rabbit host for antibody discovery?
Rabbit immune biology generates exceptional repertoire diversity, high affinity binders, and differentiated epitope recognition opportunities through a combination of unique somatic V gene conversion, hypermutation, and expanded CDR3 loop lengths, creating discovery opportunities across conserved, conformationally constrained, cryptic, and other challenging target types.
-
Can rabbit antibodies be humanized?
Yes. Rabbit-derived antibodies can be humanized and further engineered for human therapeutic development.
