SYGPeD™ · RUO

Quantitatively measure candidate effects on a targeted interaction.

SYGPeD™ is SYG BIOTECH’s quantitative functional biosensing platform, primarily focused on immune-checkpoint R&D. It compares candidate effects at the level of the interaction under study.

A comparative readout that is immediately understandable.

A reference condition measures target engagement with the SYGPeD™ recognition interface. In the presence of a candidate, perturbation of that engagement produces a measurable signal change.

Functional readout: measurement of the candidate’s effect on the targeted interaction in the assay context.

Measurement principle

Recognize → Translate → Quantify

The public site explains the assay at the level needed to understand its logic: a dedicated recognition interface engages the target, the biosensor translates that event into a measurable signal, and the readout is compared across conditions.

01

Recognize

A SYGPeD™ interface configured for the target establishes the reference condition.

02

Translate

Target engagement is converted by the biosensor into a measurable signal.

03

Quantify

The signal is normalized and compared to measure candidate effect.

Experimental value

A proprietary biosensing architecture designed for comparison and confirmation.

SYGPeD™ converts a targeted interaction into a quantitative readout that can support screening and confirmation workflows.

Targeted interaction

The module is configured around a defined biological interaction and suitable controls.

Quantitative readout

Signal change supports condition comparison and candidate prioritization.

Experimental continuity

The same framework can support initial screening followed by dose-response confirmation.

Multi-target validation

An immune-checkpoint focus supported by an architecture already tested across multiple target families.

PD‑1/PD‑L1 is the reference immune-checkpoint module. Experimental validation on HER2, EPO and several cytokine models supports platform modularity. Performance remains specific to each module and protocol.

Formats & new modules

An adaptable framework for different candidates and biological questions.

Biomolecules

Antibodies, VHHs, DARPins, peptides and other formats can be studied depending on the module.

Small molecules

Evaluation is framed according to the experimental configuration and appropriate controls.

New targets

Feasibility for a new module is defined with the partner before the study.
