Oral Presentation(1)
Title and Presenters Introduction of Biopharmaceutical Development and CORYNEX® Technology to Address Challenges in Manufacturing
Hayato Nagano, Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
Abstract Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma Services, as a fully integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), offers a broad range of innovative platform technologies and end-to-end solutions for biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing. In this presentation, we will introduce our CDMO capability and CORYNEX® protein expression platform technology for biopharmaceuticals, which together can improve drug substance manufacturing.
Date, Time and Venue January 18(Wed), 2023 12:45 PM at Aqua Salon AB
Oral Presentation(2)
Title and Presenters Novel Format Conjugates and Multi-Specific Antibodies Produced by Chemical Site-Specific Conjugation: AJICAP®
Yutaka Matsuda, Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
Abstract Site-specific chemical conjugation technology (termed AJICAP®) is a simplified manufacturing process without using antibody engineering. We attempted to use site-specific conjugation technology to produce bispecific and trispecific antibodies with a new shape. The development of the unique methodology to produce homogeneous DAR = 1 conjugates enabled the production of homogeneous multispecific antibodies without a difficult purification process. Initial applications of AJICAP® technology to novel format conjugates are also discussed.
Date, Time and Venue January 19th (Thr), 2023 9:50 AM at Aqua Salon D
Poster Presentation(1)
Title and Presenters From peptides and small proteins to mAb, Ajinomoto’s proprietary microbial platform for pharmaceutical protein production
Kazuo Yamagishi, Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
Abstract We will introduce the cutting-edge technologies of Ajinomoto’s proprietary microbial secretory protein production.
CORYNEX® : A bacterial recombinant protein expression system for antibody fragments and scaffolds. Endotoxin-free platform using Gram-positive bacteria as host cells.
TALAMAX® : A system for the production of antibodies and antibody fragment fusion proteins using microbe. Compared to conventional antibody production using mammalian cells, culture time is half and the cost of raw materials is reduced to 1/10.

Title and Presenters ADC Therapeutic Window Enhancement Based on the Site-Specific Conjugation Platform: AJICAP® Conjugation
Hiroki Imai, Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
Abstract The chemical conjugation of antibodies in a site-directed manner remains an area of great interest and active efforts within the ADC community. In this poster, we present a novel platform named “AJICAP®” for the chemical and site-selective conjugation of native antibodies. Recent enhancements of the AJICAP® platform and conjugation at an additional Lys residue will be introduced. Therapeutic window enhancement will be also discussed.

Title and Presenters Novel Format Conjugates and Multi-Specific Antibodies Produced by Chemical Site-Specific Conjugation: AJICAP®
Yutaka Matsuda, Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
Abstract A site-specific chemical conjugation is a well-known approach to producing homogeneous ADC with a simplified manufacturing process without an antibody engineering process.
Aiming versatile manufacturing of multispecific antibodies, we attempted to apply site-specific conjugation technology to produce bispecific and trispecific antibodies as novel formats. Furthermore, the development of a unique methodology to produce homogeneous DAR = 1 conjugates enabled the production of homogeneous multispecific antibodies without a complicated purification process.
