ImmunoPrecise Validates LENS ai Epitope Mapping Platform Across Broad Range of Unseen Therapeutic Targets Beyond Training Data

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. (NASDAQ: IPA) ('IPA' or the 'Company'), an AI-powered biotherapeutics company, today announced a new validation study supporting the generalizability of its proprietary epitope mapping platform, LENS ai, powered by IPA's patented HYFT® technology. The newly released benchmark shows that the platform consistently delivers high predictive performance, even on complexes not used during training. LENSai accurately mapped antibody binding sites on entirely new antibody - protein complexes-none of which were used in training. Not the antibodies. Not the targets. Not the complexes. 'It's generally assumed that AI can only make accurate predictions if it has seen similar data before,' said Dr. Jennifer Bath, CEO of ImmunoPrecise. 'But this benchmark proves otherwise: LENS ai accurately mapped antibody binding sites on entirely new antibody - protein complexes-none of which were used in training. Not the antibodies. Not the targets. Not the complexes. And the predictions aligned with wet-lab results. This is a major breakthrough in generalizing AI for therapeutic discovery, made possible by our proprietary technology, which captures functional meaning instead of memorizing shapes. It shows that AI doesn't always need massive data to be powerful and accurate - it just needs the right kind.' LENS ai Epitope Mapping uses artificial intelligence to pinpoint where antibodies are most likely to attach to disease-related proteins - helping scientists design better treatments faster. Unlike traditional methods that take months and require lab work, LENS ai delivers results in hours - using just the digital sequences - cutting timelines, eliminating the need to produce expensive materials, reducing guesswork, and unlocking faster paths to new treatments. In a new benchmark study, LENS ai was tested on 30 antibody-protein pairs, 17 of which the platform had never seen before. Despite having no prior exposure to these molecules, LENS ai achieved prediction scores nearly identical to those from its original training data. This score, known as AUC (Area Under the Curve), is a widely accepted measure of accuracy in computational biology. The consistent performance on entirely new, unseen complexes confirms that LENS ai 's artificial intelligence can reliably analyze and predict antibody binding - even for molecules outside its training set. This breakthrough demonstrates LENS ai 's power to generalize across diverse biological structures, making it a valuable tool for accelerating real-world drug discovery. Why This Benchmark Matters In the new study, LENS ai delivered high accuracy results on 17 antibody-protein complexes the platform had never seen before as it did on familiar training examples - proving true generalization, not memorization. Because no new wet-lab work or x-ray structures were required, researchers gain speed, reproducibility, and major cost savings, while freeing scarce lab resources for confirmatory or downstream assays. What It Means for Partners and Investors With LENS ai already embedded in collaborations across big pharma and biotech, ImmunoPrecise is scaling access through secure APIs and custom partnerships. The platform helps researchers compress discovery timelines, reduce risk, and unlock previously unreachable targets - positioning the company and its investors at the forefront of AI-driven antibody therapeutics. For more technical detail and full benchmark results, explore two complementary case studies that illustrate the power and flexibility of LENS ai Epitope Mapping. The first highlights performance on a 'seen' target, where the system was trained on related data. The second - featured in this press release - demonstrates LENS ai 's breakthrough ability to accurately map binding sites on a completely 'unseen' target, with no prior exposure to the antibody, the antigen, or their structure. These examples underscore how LENS ai performs both in well-characterized systems and in novel, previously untrained scenarios—validating its generalizability and real-world readiness.

ImmunoPrecise Advances Universal Dengue Vaccine, Confirming Safety, Immune Activation, and Structural Stability Using its LENS ai™ Platform Powered by Patented HYFT ® Technology

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ImmunoPrecise (NASDAQ: IPA), a leader in AI-driven biotherapeutics, provides a significant update following its June 5, 2025, press release ImmunoPrecise Announces AI-Driven Breakthrough in Universal Dengue Vaccine Discovery. This new release details the downstream validation of the epitope identified in that initial announcement—demonstrating that the computationally selected vaccine target is not only highly conserved across all four dengue virus types but also safe, immunologically active, and structurally stable. ImmunoPrecise's patented HYFT technology successfully identified a critical and discontiguous target site (epitope) that remains unchanged across all four types of dengue virus (DENV-1 through DENV-4). 'This is a major step forward,' said Dr. Jennifer Bath, CEO of ImmunoPrecise. 'Our AI technology not only found a new target for a universal dengue vaccine, but we've now shown it's safe and can trigger the right immune response. With this validation, we're excited to move ahead and advance this candidate toward the next stages of vaccine development.' Following the recent discovery of a unique 'Achilles' heel' shared by all four types of dengue virus, ImmunoPrecise has confirmed—using its patented HYFT technology and LENS ai Immunogenicity Screener—that the selected target not only remains conserved but also triggers a strong and specific immune response. This breakthrough may pave the way for a safer, more universal dengue vaccine. The new target was discovered using the Company's proprietary LENS ai platform. 'Our ability to move from computational discovery to AI-guided immunogenicity validation is unique to our methodology and drug development,' commented Dr. Jennifer Bath, ImmunoPrecise CEO. 'Further, it ensures that our candidates are both theoretically promising and primed for real-world immune protection, a critical requirement for any viable vaccine candidate.' For decades, dengue has been one of the most challenging viruses for vaccine developers, largely because the virus comes in four different forms—and beating one doesn't guarantee protection from the others. Many vaccines fail because they trigger the immune system to attack the wrong parts of the virus, or worse, make infections more severe. What makes this development so important is that ImmunoPrecise's target has now been shown—based on in silico immune profiling—to likely engage key components of the immune system, including both B cells and T cells, in a manner that appears safe and highly specific. ImmunoPrecise's latest AI-driven testing shows that their selected target—a small, stable piece of the virus—can activate the body's defenses in a very precise way, without the risks of traditional, broader approaches. A Methodology That Changes the Game—Far Beyond Dengue What sets ImmunoPrecise apart is not only the discovery of a promising dengue vaccine target, but the methodology itself. With LENS ai powered by HYFT technology, IPA brings unprecedented clarity to the earliest stages of discovery—well before traditional disease modeling or animal studies even begin. By revealing deep relationships between sequence, structure, and function at the outset, this platform provides rapid, explainable insights that inform every downstream decision, from epitope selection to vaccine design. The findings for dengue showcase the platform's versatility. Because HYFT technology systematically maps biological meaning across the entire biosphere, this methodology is readily transferable—equipping IPA to tackle a wide spectrum of infectious diseases, from HIV and influenza to emerging pathogens and oncology targets. With this approach, ImmunoPrecise isn't just keeping pace with the field; it's setting a new standard for how next-generation therapeutics are discovered and validated. ImmunoPrecise's patented HYFT technology successfully identified a critical and discontiguous target site (epitope) that remains unchanged across all four types of dengue virus (DENV-1 through DENV-4). This target site is essential for how the virus infects cells and is believed to be key for establishing an enduring and efficacious universal dengue vaccine. This HYFT-guided workflow achieves this by analyzing protein building blocks that may be far apart in the virus's genetic sequence but come together when the protein folds into its final 3D shape. This advanced mapping process combines genetic similarity analysis with 3D structural modeling and functional annotation to identify the most promising vaccine targets. Key Technical Findings Complete Immune Response Testing Computer-based immune response screening used advanced prediction tools to evaluate how both antibody-producing cells (B cells) and infection-fighting cells (T cells) would respond to the vaccine target. The target site showed strong predicted binding to multiple human immune system markers (HLA class I and II types). This suggests that people from diverse backgrounds and genetic makeups could mount a strong immune response to the vaccine—something essential for global deployment. Safety Verification Against Human Proteins Using ImmunoPrecise's proprietary retrieve-and-relate technology at the core of HYFT™ (Van Hyfte et al., 2023, bioRxiv), the vaccine target was thoroughly compared against all known human and mouse proteins. This comprehensive safety check goes beyond standard comparison methods—HYFT systematically searches for not only genetic similarities but also structural and functional matches across species, ensuring the vaccine target is unique to the virus and not found in human biology. This is critical in vaccine development, where off-target effects can lead to dangerous autoimmune reactions. No problematic similarities were found, significantly reducing the risk that the vaccine would accidentally attack the body's own healthy cells. Structural Stability Analysis Advanced computer modeling and molecular simulation studies have confirmed that the vaccine target maintains its proper shape, remains accessible to immune cells, and remains prominently displayed on the surface of the dengue virus. Stability testing demonstrated that the target remains robust under normal physiological conditions. Balanced Immune Response Profile Importantly, the moderate predicted immune response strength (compared to typical vaccine 'hotspots') may explain why this target was overlooked in previous laboratory studies that focused on more obvious, highly immunogenic sites. This balanced profile suggests the vaccine could trigger a highly specific immune response while potentially reducing the risk of dangerous immune overreactions or antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE)—a serious complication that can worsen dengue infection. Looking Ahead This release is the second in a series of disclosures aimed at showcasing the power of ImmunoPrecise's end-to-end AI-native platform. The June 5th announcement introduced a promising target; today's release provides the crucial next step: a rigorous validation of that target's safety and immunological relevance. This validation significantly strengthens the translational potential of the candidate, which is currently being prepared for further preclinical evaluation. These findings come at an important time, as global agencies continue to seek safer and more effective dengue vaccines. IPA is actively engaging with key stakeholders to explore the path forward, including potential collaboration, development, and funding partnerships. About ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd.

AI-Designed GLP-1 Peptides from ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Surpass Semaglutide in Receptor Activation Studies

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. (NASDAQ: IPA), a leader in AI-powered drug discovery and biotherapeutics, today announced compelling in vitro results demonstrating that its artificial intelligence (AI)-designed GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) peptide sequences achieve comparable or superior receptor activation to Semaglutide, a benchmark GLP-1 therapy and one of the most commercially successful drugs in the world. The in vitro analysis was conducted by an independent third party, further strengthening the objectivity and reliability of the findings. AI-designed GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) peptide sequences achieve comparable or superior receptor activation to Semaglutide, a benchmark GLP-1 therapy and one of the most commercially successful drugs in the world Share The results validate the power of IPA's LENSai™ platform and its proprietary HYFT™ technology, which enables first-principles-based in silico peptide discovery and optimization. Five rationally engineered peptide sequences—AI-optimized for improved stability and peptidase resistance—were tested against benchmark GLP-1 analogs in receptor activation assays. Two lead candidates outperformed or matched Semaglutide under controlled assay conditions. Crucially, the sequences were not discovered by chance. They were designed using HYFT-derived intrinsic biological patterns—mathematical representations of functional relationships in biology—making this approach highly reproducible and generalizable to other drug targets. With GLP-1 therapies representing one of the fastest-growing segments in the global pharmaceutical market, these results demonstrate that AI can now generate not only predictive but functionally validated peptide drugs, paving the way for rapid expansion into adjacent therapeutic areas using the same HYFT-driven approach. 'This is not a one-off success,' said Dr. Jennifer Bath, CEO of ImmunoPrecise. 'We've demonstrated a scalable, first-principles mechanism to design potent, stable, and biologically active peptide therapeutics. HYFT-guided design unlocks repeatable workflows for other validated targets—whether in cardiometabolic disease, oncology, or infectious disease. It represents a foundational shift in how therapeutics are discovered. The same LENSai-driven approach has already transformed our vaccine and antibody discovery programs, and we are now applying that rinse-and-repeat methodology to metabolic diseases—starting with GLP-1.' IPA is now considering two complementary preclinical paths for its lead GLP-1 candidates: Injectable delivery studies, including pharmacokinetic profiling and efficacy validation in animal models. Non-invasive delivery strategies, including formulation work for transdermal patches and exploratory evaluation of nucleic acid-based delivery, designed to enhance durability, patient compliance, and ease of administration. The sequences were also engineered for compatibility with next-generation expression systems, including nucleic acid-based vectors, which support scalable expression in both traditional and emerging human-relevant models, aligning with evolving regulatory interest in more predictive, flexible, and efficient therapeutic development approaches. The significance of this breakthrough extends far beyond GLP-1. The same AI framework and HYFT-driven approach that generated these potent peptide drugs can now be applied to other high-value therapeutic targets—quickly, efficiently, and with built-in biological relevance. This announcement follows IPA's recent success with AI-designed dengue virus vaccine candidates, reinforcing the broad applicability of its technology across both infectious and non-infectious diseases.
