Humanize murine antibody sequences using CDR grafting and framework

When to use

• Converting murine hybridoma antibodies to therapeutic candidates
• Reducing immunogenicity risk of rodent-derived antibodies
• Selecting human framework templates for CDR grafting
• Identifying critical framework residues for antigen binding
• Comparing multiple humanization strategies for lead optimization
• Preparing antibody sequences for patent filings
• Teaching antibody engineering principles
• Fully human antibody generation from phage display → Use `phage-display-library`

When not to use

• **Binding Prediction**: Cannot accurately predict impact on antigen affinity
• **Developability**: Limited prediction of aggregation or stability issues
• **Immunogenicity**: In silico T-cell epitope prediction has false positives
• **Non-Standard Antibodies**: May not handle camelid, shark, or engineered scaffolds
• **Experimental Validation Required**: All predictions must be confirmed in vitro/vivo
• **Intellectual Property**: Does not check for existing patent claims on sequences
