Under the agreement, Serimmune will apply its Serum Epitope Repertoire Analysis (SERA) platform, which maps the antigenic targets of antibody repertoires to identify the targets of selected therapeutic antibody candidates for oncology generated by Atreca.

"We are excited that Atreca has chosen to collaborate with Serimmune to leverage the strengths of our proprietary platform for identifying the specific antigenic epitopes of antibody response," said Noah Nasser, CEO of Serimmune. "Atreca’s antibody discovery platform provides a wealth of therapeutic candidates, and we look forward to providing valuable target information to help them select and advance those candidates."

Serimmune’s SERA technology platform reveals the diverse antigens that stimulate immunity. Serimmune is using this platform to create a growing database that can be interrogated to uncover disease information. The company is actively pursuing commercial partnerships for the SERA platform and has a number of ongoing collaborations with government, academic and commercial organizations.
