Svar specializes in creating cell-based Reporter Gene Assays with iLite® technology for a range of complement applications. This technology offers a precise, sensitive system with luciferase readout, suitable for assessing drug activity for different targets such as C5a, and through Complement-Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC) activity.

The iLite® C5a Assay Ready Cells can be used for the quantification of C5a activity, and for determination of inhibitory activity against either C5a itself or against the C5a receptor in test samples, including human serum.

With their proprietary technology, the iLite® technology Svar can develop Report Gene Assays – that area cleverly designed, sensitive and specific cell based reporter-gene system with luciferase readout. Svar can develop assays for virtually any pharmaceutical target that allow an easy, rapid and accurate test format for a wide range of applications, such as Immunogenicity and Potency assays.

The iLite® Functional Bioassay portfolio consists of cell lines provided in an “assay-ready” format for a rapid and convenient workflow. The assay-ready format also reduces assay variability, optimizing its use in screening, characterization, stability, and potency studies. iLite cell lines can be tailored to virtually any biopharmaceutical target.

The iLite® Fc Effector Reporter Gene Bioassays Portfolio offers a variety of reporter gene cell lines and target cells that can be used in MOA-reflective assays to measure the Fc effect of antibodies and other biologics that specifically bind and activate Fc receptors. Using a Luciferase reporter gene system offers a convenient and powerful way of measuring antibodies' in vitro efficacy in triggering ADCC and ADCP.

Svar offers assistance in gene therapy projects through robust platforms suited for all phases of drug development and experience from immunoassasy product development as well as their CRO services. Svar currently offer cell-based assays for Neutralizing antibody assessment and custom-made immunoassays for Total antibody assessment.

Complement biomarker assays target selected biomarkers of high relevance. These assays are important and well-suited for analyses in drug development and academic research. They stand out with very low cross-reactivity and high specificity as they bind neo-epitopes of cleaved products or complexes, where this is relevant.

In diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the measurement of anti-CCP is integral. People who test positive for Anti-CCP, are very likely to develop or have already developed RA, but not all who have RA, necessarily develop anti-CCP. Early detection of RA is crucial for reducing tissue damage.

Calpro, a Svar subsidiary, produced the first ever commercial kits available for measuring Calprotectin setting industry standards. It offers a broad range of assays, including ELISA, PETIA (Turbidimetric assay), and rapid Point-of-Care (PoC) and self-tests for IBD monitoring. Calpro also provides RUO ELISAs for various bodily fluids and a rapid CalproSmart test as an RUO product.

Svar CRO Services provides direct value through an extensive toolbox of in-house products, scientific expertise, and end-to-end customizable solutions – everything to ensure the success of your drug development program.​

The Factor P Functional assay is an ELISA that combines principles of the functional complement activity assays with the use of labeled antibodies specific for deposited complement proteins. The amount of deposited complement proteins is proportional to the functional activity of Properdin in the sample.

A two-component system of an AAV serotype-producing cell and a iLite®  responsive reporter cell that accurately provides a semi-quantitative NAb assay. The luciferase reporter gene expresses proportionally to the AAV transduction level, enabling precise detection of neutralizing antibodies against AAV. AAV-producing cells are available for serotypes 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9, with customizable options for other serotypes or derivative…

The iLite® CDC bioassay is based on a reporter gene and offers a convenient and powerful way of measuring antibodies' efficacy in eliciting complement-dependent cytotoxicity in test samples, including human serum.
