KyDab – a comprehensive database of antibody discovery selection campaigns

Abstract Preclinical antibody discovery relies on progressive screening and down-selection of candidate antibodies from large immune repertoires, yet this critical process is poorly represented in existing public databases. Here we introduce KyDab (Kymouse Antibody Database), a well-curated database of antibody discovery selection data generated using standardized workflows on the Kymouse humanized mouse platform. The current release includes 11 Kymouse platform mice immunisation studies covering 51 immunogens, more than 120,000 paired heavy–light chain sequences, and binding measurements for a selected subset of experimentally characterized clones. By capturing full-funnel selection data with consistent metadata and both positive and negative experimental outcomes, KyDab provides a valuable data resource for the development and evaluation of artificial intelligence models for antibody discovery. KyDab is accessible https://kydab.naturalantibody.com , and the database will be continuously updated as new datasets become available.
