We envision a future in 20 years where soluble TCR modalities become as common of a treatment paradigm as antibodies are today. Keyway unites innovative minds in antibody discovery with the pioneering minds behind TCR therapeutics, to provide comprehensive, proprietary technology and capabilities for end-to-end discovery of TCR mimics (TCRms) and engineered TCRs.
TCRms are antibodies that have been developed to target peptides presented on the cell surface in the context of major histocompatibility complexes (pMHCs), opening up a wide range of intracellular targets, including novel cancer targets. Keyway‘s robust TCRm discovery services is an end-to-end solution from target idea to final panel of therapeutic leads. We start with high-quality pHLA generation for discovery and optimization and complete campaigns with in vitro and in silico specificity testing to reduce the off-target effects that can limit many TCRm therapeutics in the clinic.
Proprietary protocols, workflows, know-how, technology, and materials for the consistent generation of high-quality pMHC complexes, giving you the high-quality antigens that are crucial for the generation of high-quality therapeutic leads.
Alloy’s full suite of in vivo, in vitro and in silico antibody discovery capabilities are tailored to identifying and optimizing a diverse set of antibodies that bind to a specific pMHC complex. This approach selects for non-specific binders to related pMHC complexes while also using Alloy’s AI/ML workflows to reduce genome-wide polyreactivity.
We leverage pMHC phage and eukaryotic display libraries for specificity testing to address off-target non-specificity effects, to give you greater confidence that Keyway-generated therapeutic candidates are successful as they advance to clinical trials.

BOSTON, Mass., May 21st, 2024 – Alloy Therapeutics, a biotechnology ecosystem company dedicated to democratizing access to biologics drug discovery platforms and services, announced today a licensing agreement for its murine platforms for fully human antibody discovery with Eli Lilly and Company. The non-exclusive license provides Lilly access to the ATX-Gx™ and ATX-CLC™ mouse platforms and broad rights to use the Alloy platforms for antibody drug discovery and development under this multi-year collaboration.
Launched in 2019, the Alloy ATX-Gx platform has rapidly become the industry standard fully human transgenic mouse platform to enable therapeutic discovery programs utilized by over 170 partners. Alloy is dedicated to reinvesting its revenue into innovation and has continuously expanded its murine platforms, adding new strains such as ATX-GL™ with the full human lambda repertoire as well as ATX-GKH™ hyperimmune strain for increased generation of antigen-specific B-cells and enhanced IgG class switching. In 2023 Alloy launched the ATX-CLC platform expressing common light chain antibodies with full heavy chain diversity to enable efficient, modular bispecific discovery.
Access to Alloy’s platforms extends to Lilly’s Catalyze360™ program, a comprehensive platform designed to enable drug discovery and development for biotech partners, including opportunities for capital investment, world-class lab space, and exceptional R&D capabilities and expertise. Under the arrangement, biotech companies that work with Lilly Catalyze360 will have the opportunity for Alloy antibody discovery platforms to be deployed to rapidly progress partnered discovery campaigns and accelerate medicines to the clinic for patients.
“Lilly is a great collaboration partner, and we are excited to further enable the company’s broader R&D ecosystem with access to Alloy’s best-in-class technologies for discovering superior fully human antibodies and bispecifics against even the most challenging targets,” said Heather Schwoebel, CBO of Antibodies and Strategic Collaborations at Alloy. “This collaboration represents just one example of the many ways Alloy is flexible in enabling our partners with a breadth of discovery solutions to support their objectives and improve patient lives.”

Thanks for your interest in our white paper, Targeting GPCRs with DeepImmune Antibody Discovery.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a central role in multiple physiological functions, from endocrine sensing to neurotransmission to chemotaxis of immune cells. This class has long been an attractive target for novel antibody drug discovery campaigns in multiple disease indications, but their unique nature produces many challenges for in vivo antibody discovery. In this white paper, we detail how our humanized mouse discovery platform, the ATX-Gx™, have been successfully utilized for GPCR-targeted antibody discovery, Alloy Antibody Discovery’s DeepImmune™ module builds on this robust in vivo discovery platform, coupling best-in-class immunogen production with multiple binder recovery approaches, and advanced machine-learning-based techniques for lead identification and optimization.
