Antibody Solutions Launches Single Plasma B-Cell Services through Cellestive Discovery Platform

Business Wire22-04-2025

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Antibody Solutions, a leading provider of fit-for-purpose antibody discovery services, announced today that for the first time, single plasma B-cell discovery services will be part of the company's exclusive Cellestive antibody discovery platform. The new capability completes a trifecta of B-cell services offered through Cellestive, which already includes discovery pathways for both activated and memory B-cells.
The new plasma B-cell service is projected to be of particular value to clients pursuing difficult targets in antibody discovery, enabling them to leverage new processes and technologies while accessing broader, deeper data to inform their decision-making.
'This really rounds out our Cellestive platform and allows us to robustly and efficiently interrogate single plasma B-cells for our clients,' said John Kenney, Phd, co-founder and president of Antibody Solutions. 'Now, we can capture the entire antigen-specific B-cell repertoire from an immune host by using the hybridoma, memory B-cell, and new plasma B-cell discovery pathways, and get vetted sequences from those pathways. There's incredible value in being able to combine sequence-based and function-based screening from essentially any cell that's secreting an antibody.'
The new service will leverage a proprietary technology that has the capacity to interrogate, in a single run, more plasma B-cells than current competing technologies. During a run, it can screen antibodies against both soluble antigens and target cells simultaneously, and its AI-driven screening software can rank hits, define multiple unique phenotypes, and prioritize clones for recovery. In addition, fast set-up and processing times allow for greater than 1 million assays to be run in a single workday, making it ideal for difficult targets that demand maximum throughput with a broad range of parameters.
Antibody Solutions' clients can begin using plasma B-cell discovery services immediately. Included in each project will be the optimization of analysis conditions, a high-throughput multiparameter screen, recovery of paired heavy and light chain sequences and analysis, high-throughput re-expression, and subsequent analysis including ELISA, Flow Cytometry, and BLI for the validation of antibody binding to the target(s) of interest.
'We're confident that our antibody discovery platform can deliver high-quality inputs that will be perfectly tailored to generate the best outputs,' said Kenney. 'We can now exploit all populations of antigen-stimulated B-cells to discover novel antibody therapeutics. We're excited to bring Cellestive to a new level and offer truly comprehensive solutions to our clients' antibody discovery needs.'

KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to WBHT 2025-WBM

NEW YORK, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA announces the assignment of preliminary ratings to six classes of WBHT 2025-WBM, a CMBS single-borrower securitization. The collateral for the transaction is a $340.0 million non-recourse, first lien mortgage loan that is expected to be co-originated by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The floating rate loan is expected to have a two-year initial term with three 12-month extension options and require monthly interest-only payments. The mortgage loan will be secured by the borrower's leasehold interests in the Waikiki Beach Marriott located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The subject property features 1,307 keys, 10 food & beverage outlets, 24,572 sf of indoor meeting and ballroom space, 54,287 sf of retail space, two outdoor pools, a full-service spa, a fitness facility, game room, and a business center. The hotel was constructed between 1971 and 1979. Since 2017, the sponsor has invested approximately $118.4 million ($90,572 per key) on capital improvements at the property. The most recent comprehensive renovation was largely completed in 2022 when the sponsor spent $95.2 million ($72,863 per key) to renovate all guestrooms, the third floor terrace and pool deck as well as construct the Luana Lounge to cater to Japanese tour groups. For the TTM 3/2025 period, the subject property achieved an occupancy of 83.6% with an ADR of $262.96, resulting in a RevPAR of $219.87. As of the TTM 3/2025 period, the property achieved occupancy, ADR and RevPAR penetration rates of 98.0%, 102.6% and 100.5%, respectively. KBRA's analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of the property's cash flows using our North American CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology, and the application of our North American CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. In addition, KBRA also relied on its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology for assessing counterparty risk in this transaction, and its ESG Global Rating Methodology, to the extent deemed applicable. The results of our analysis yielded a KBRA net cash flow (KNCF) for the subject of approximately $28.8 million, which is 22.3% below the issuer's NCF, and a KBRA value of approximately $288.4 million, which is 59.3% below the appraiser's as-is value. The resulting in-trust KBRA Loan to Value (KLTV) is 117.9%. In our analysis of the transaction, we also reviewed and considered third party engineering, environmental, and appraisal reports, the results of our site inspection of the property, and legal documentation review.
