Flexible Access to AJICAP™ Technology

AJICAP™ offers flexible access to conjugation and linker technologies through licensing and technology transfer models tailored to customer needs. Programs may begin with feasibility evaluation and sample preparation, while broader development activities are typically supported through licensing. AJICAP™ provides process development, analytical support, and technology transfer expertise, enabling efficient integration into customer workflows.

Commercial Licensing Model

AJICAP™ licensing is not a fixed protocol. Our chemistry team works with licensees to adapt the process for specific antibodies, payloads, equipment configurations, and regulatory requirements.

Manufacturing Process Rights

Full AJICAP™ process rights for cGMP clinical and commercial manufacturing

Technology Transfer

Complete tech transfer package – process descriptions

Process Optimization

Ongoing technical support and process optimization access

Partner Support

Manufacture at your facility or designated partner CDMO

Integrating AJICAP™ into Your ADC Therapy

AJICAP™ supports the integration of conjugation and linker technologies into customer development programs through a structured technology transfer and process adaptation approach. We work with customers to map the manufacturing process and identify development activities required for implementation. Our structured approach helps reduce development risk and supports efficient integration into manufacturing workflows.

Customized to Remove Constraints

AJICAP™ is designed to provide flexibility across a wide range of bioconjugate development programs. Depending on the conjugation strategy, the technology is compatible with diverse antibody formats, linker-payload designs, and customer-specific payloads.

Support Multiple DAR Formats

The AJICAP™ platform can support multiple DAR formats including DAR1, DAR2, DAR4, dual-payload conjugates, and higher DAR configurations.

Works on Native IgG

AJICAP™ adapts to your antibody — no upstream engineering or modification required. Compatible across IgG isotypes; confirm subtype range with science team for your specific program.

Any Linker-Payload Combination

AJICAP™ conjugation is compatible with the linker-payload system your program requires — auristatins, maytansinoids, camptothecins/DXd, PBDs, and others. Confirm specific combinations with the team.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is intellectual property protected?

AJICAP™ core technology and related intellectual property are owned by Ajinomoto. Product-specific intellectual property remains with the customer. Confidentiality and intellectual property considerations are addressed through appropriate contractual agreements and technology transfer processes.

What is the typical transfer timeline?

Technology transfer timelines vary depending on program scope, process complexity, manufacturing strategy, and development stage. Transfer activities are planned on a project-specific basis to support efficient implementation and manufacturing readiness.

What support do you provide after transfer?

AJICAP core technology and related intellectual property are owned by Ajinomoto Group. Product-specific development and associated intellectual property remain with the customer. Confidentiality and intellectual property considerations are addressed through appropriate contractual agreements and technology transfer processes.

Can the process scale with my program?

Yes. AJICAP™ technologies can be applied from early-stage evaluation through clinical and commercial manufacturing. Process development and technology transfer support are available to facilitate scale-up, while manufacturing can be performed by qualified AJICAP™ partner CDMOs or customer-selected manufacturing partners. This flexible approach enables efficient progression throughout the product lifecycle.

How do you ensure regulatory compliance?

AJICAP™ core technology and related intellectual property are owned by the Ajinomoto Group. Product-specific development and associated intellectual property remain with the customer. Confidentiality and intellectual property considerations are addressed through appropriate contractual agreements and technology transfer processes.

Which tech transfer platforms are best for CDMOs?

Technology transfer timelines vary depending on program scope, process complexity, manufacturing strategy, and development stage. Transfer activities are planned on a project-specific basis to support efficient implementation and manufacturing readiness.
