History
Antibody Solutions was founded in 1995 by John Kenney and Dennis Gould. Kenney had managed the monoclonal antibody (McAb) development laboratory for Syntex Research in Palo Alto and Gould managed the McAb production facility for Syva Diagnostics. Gould left Antibody Solutions company in 1997 and eventually became a Vice President for Sepragen Corporation.
Kenney and Gould were assisted in the startup of the company by Barry Bredt. Bredt had the foresight to acquire the domain name www. antibody.com for use by Antibody Solutions. He later became Director of the UCSF General Clinical Research Center, SFGHMC, and was a pioneer of the low cost HIV AIDS Diagnostics "EASYCD4". Bredt died on April 8, 2007.
Antibody Solutions was incorporated in 1998 with John Kenney as President and Judith Lynch-Kenney as Chief Financial Officer. The company spent several years at a facility in Mountain View, a short distance from Shoreline Park, Moffett Field and the Googleplex. In 2011, the company moved to new facilities in Sunnyvale.
