However, despite the size of the market and the importance of the product there is no independent, state-of-the-art quality assessment body for antibodies and as a result at least half of the antibodies on the market do not perform as required \u2013 leading to billions of dollars of wasted funding and a crisis of experimental reproducibility. YCharOS has developed a new characterization process that involves knockout cell lines that do not express the target protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these cell lines as controls, and with inventive characterization steps, antibody performance against the cognate target protein can be quantified and compared in a range of commercially relevant applications. The long-term business model involves customers paying YCharOS to perform antibody studies on protein targets selected by one of the customers with a goal of attaining $9 M in annual revenue by the end of the project and saving Canadian taxpayers $45 M annually by enabling our scientists to order the right antibody for their experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lead Genome Centres:<\/strong>&nbsp;Ontario Genomics, G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>User :<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Chetan<\/td><td>Raina<\/td><td>YCharOS Inc.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-25906","financed-project","type-financed-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project\/25906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/financed-project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
