COMPANY PROFILE
1 Medical & Biological Laboratories Co., LTD. Medical & Biological Laboratories Co., LTD. 2
Since establishing itself as the first Japanese company specializing in the manufacture and supply of antibody products, MBL has developed valuable relationships in the life sciences field. MBL provides unique clinical diagnostics and basic research reagents to detect proteins and DNA molecules primarily in the areas of autoimmune diseases, cancer, gynecologic diseases, and infectious diseases.
MBL is engaged in an area of clinical laboratory testing in which is reaching a major turning point regarding medical significance and combined with laboratory tests. We are witnessing continued advancement of new therapeutic approaches and prevention of diseases in medicine. These advances are observed from the correlation of research into genetic information such as genome and epigenome, and environmental factors such as infection and lifestyle with health and illness.
MBL’s future business direction is in the research and development of cutting-edge diagnostic products, life science translational research (LSTR), and in commercialization of unique products and services. We aim to launch biomarker tests and companion diagnostics products as clinical laboratory tests, and launch LSTR products for use in disease investigation as well as etiological elucidation of the mechanisms of various diseases.
After MBL’s consolidation into JSR’s Life Science Business, I believe all our corporate activities will lead to the further contribution by MBL to society as a corporate entity with a strong presence in the life science industry.

MBL has over 30 years of experience as a leading company of diagnostic reagents in the �eld of autoimmune diseases.
Autoimmune Diseases
MBL provides genetic test products that assist the selection of optimal treatment regimens for cancer and other diseases
Genetic Testing
An autoimmune disease is a pathological state in which an abnormality in the immune system causes it to recognize and attack the body’s own tissues and cells as foreign objects. Autoimmune diseases are broadly categorized into systemic autoimmune diseases that can affect throughout the body and organ-specific autoimmune diseases that cause damage to specific organs. Many autoimmune diseases are designated as intractable diseases by Japan’s Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare (MHLW).
Diagnosis of autoimmune diseases requires accurate measurement of parameters and indicators which are specific to individual immune disorders. Clinical diagnostic test results also serve to predict subsequent disease progression and evaluate therapeutic options. MBL offers a variety of diagnostic reagents for autoimmune diseases to be able to meet a broad range of clinical needs from screening to follow-up of patients.
Recently, personalized medicine has become recognized as particularly important in selecting and designing optimal treatment regimens for individual patients. In the occurrence and progression of cancer are somatic mutation is deeply involved, it has been important as a biomarker for the therapeutic effect prediction. In molecular targeted therapy,* potentially responsive patients are identified based on biomarkers of efficacy and/or adverse reactions prior to treatment initiation, and the efficacy is maximized and adverse reactions are minimized. We need to get not only the information of specific mutation as these biomarkers, the information of more than one gene mutation. MBL products meet these requirements with their simple, convenient, and cost-effective genetic diagnostic systems.* Molecular targeted therapy: A therapeutic approach to target key

Tumor markers are proteins and DNA that are specifically associated with cancers and are released into the biological fluids including bloodstream or urine. MBL provides diagnostic reagents detecting for tumor markers and reagents detecting for autoantibodies against tumor markers and supports physicians in their diagnosis of cancers.
MBL has developed antibodies and assay kits by utilizing its core technologies and broadly supported academia and the pharmaceutical industry from basic research to clinical applications. MBL’s high-quality antibodies and kit products have long been highly appraised by researchers in molecular (cellular) biology.
Fluorescent Proteins
MBL provides an extensive lineup of unique fluorescent proteins and related products. Sophisticated measurement technologies and fluorescent proteins and fluorescent protein products are essential technologies and tools for the discovery of molecular target drugs and hence are widely used in research and development by pharmaceutical companies.
MBL is the only company in Japan, developing and marketing reagents, “major histocompatibility complex (MHC) tetramers,” used to detect antigen-specific T cells that play important roles in immune-cell therapy such as for cancer. MBL is also undertaking collaborative research with academic institutes and is out-licensing seeds for future cancer treatments.
MBL provides antibody products for pathological staining of cell and tissue sections (for use in research). Through a diverse product line-up, including US BioGenex’s antibodies and kits for pathological staining, MBL is contributing to advances in the field of pathology and pathological examination.
Cytology is a test to collect cells from the target area of the body and pathologically examine them under microscopy after staining. It is particularly useful for the cervical cancer screening. MBL is pursuing higher accuracy of cytology through standardization of testing procedures and assessment criteria of the test and supply of a liquid-based cytology system, “TACAS™,” which can also be used for other types of test (e.g. genetic tests and immunocytochemical staining).

Tumor markers are proteins and DNA that are specifically associated with cancers and are released into the biological fluids including bloodstream or urine. MBL provides diagnostic reagents detecting for tumor markers and reagents detecting for autoantibodies against tumor markers and supports physicians in their diagnosis of cancers.
MBL has developed antibodies and assay kits by utilizing its core technologies and broadly supported academia and the pharmaceutical industry from basic research to clinical applications. MBL’s high-quality antibodies and kit products have long been highly appraised by researchers in molecular (cellular) biology.
Fluorescent Proteins
MBL provides an extensive lineup of unique fluorescent proteins and related products. Sophisticated measurement technologies and fluorescent proteins and fluorescent protein products are essential technologies and tools for the discovery of molecular target drugs and hence are widely used in research and development by pharmaceutical companies.
MBL is the only company in Japan, developing and marketing reagents, “major histocompatibility complex (MHC) tetramers,” used to detect antigen-specific T cells that play important roles in immune-cell therapy such as for cancer. MBL is also undertaking collaborative research with academic institutes and is out-licensing seeds for future cancer treatments.
MBL provides antibody products for pathological staining of cell and tissue sections (for use in research). Through a diverse product line-up, including US BioGenex’s antibodies and kits for pathological staining, MBL is contributing to advances in the field of pathology and pathological examination.
Cytology is a test to collect cells from the target area of the body and pathologically examine them under microscopy after staining. It is particularly useful for the cervical cancer screening. MBL is pursuing higher accuracy of cytology through standardization of testing procedures and assessment criteria of the test and supply of a liquid-based cytology system, “TACAS™,” which can also be used for other types of test (e.g. genetic tests and immunocytochemical staining).

ISO ISO13485 certi�cation was acquired in 2006.
MBL has obtained ISO 13485 certification and is dedicating further efforts to improving product quality under the following quality assurance principles. 1. We will exert our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of our quality management system and continually implement improvements to
provide customer-oriented high quality products and services. 2. We will give careful attention to information from customer and quickly and sincerely respond to their needs by implementing appropriate
measures. 3. We will prioritize compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and provide safe and reliable products and services.
Quality Control Survey of the AutoantibodiesA law regarding medical treatment, etc., for patients with intractable diseases took effect on January 1, 2015. Autoimmune diseases, which are designated as “Specified Diseases” in Japanese law, are assessed by criteria and clinical severity scales established for individual disorders, and the presentation of diagnostic evidence of those disorders is a prerequisite for medical expense coverage under the public health insurance system. Thus, the accurate diagnosis of autoimmune diseases is of increasingly great importance for individual patients as well as physicians. MBL has practiced quality control survey for autoantibody assays since 1983. MBL is the only company in Japan providing the survey of autoantibodies continuously every year. Not only domestic hospitals and clinical laboratories in Japan but also in overseas locations such as Portugal, Italy, Korea, and Taiwan participate our quality control survey.Our quality control survey is implemented not only for detection of inter-laboratory discrepancies in measurement results but also for the unification and standardization of testing parameters based on primary aggregate data and secondary surveys.
