I see they went to a low of 8.92p on 30/4/24.
Back to level of last top up today 8% spread.
As I posted 25 April 2023 last year, this can be a costly site to read .
Thanks for reply EE.
Yes BoD wise, we are lean, mean and ready to go!
If only. ATB
Seller done, I think. There was a trade last Thursday (I think) which looked like a clearing of position.
One point I’d note on the “what he’s up to” question from tf…..
…..many corporate mergers fail due to having too many executives for the post-merger number of executive chairs available. I don’t think that will be a problem with Scancell……
After weeks where size of offer was reasonable not much on the offer and not much of a discount. Seller done or maybe wants a higher price?

Global Fc and Glycoengineered Antibodies Market Size
The global Fc and glycoengineered antibodies market is estimated to be worth US$ 38.8 billion in 2024. Driven by the increasing potential of these engineered antibodies as therapeutic agents, the market is anticipated to grow at a notable rate during the forecast period. Further, in terms of type of engineering, Fc engineered antibodies are likely to capture majority (93%) of the share, followed by glycoengineered antibodies (7%) within the overall market, by 2035.

Question 1: What is Fc region engineered antibodies?
Answer: Engineered antibodies, developed by modifying the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region, are termed as Fc region engineered antibodies. The modifications in the Fc region of an antibody have been shown to augment the various effector functions, such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
Question 2: How big is the Fc and glycoengineered antibodies market?
Answer: The Fc and glycoengineered antibodies market size is anticipated to be worth $38.8 billion in 2024.
Question 3: Who are the leading players developing Fc and glycoengineered antibodies?
Answer: Examples of key companies engaged in Fc and glycoengineered antibodies industry (which have also been profiled in this market report; the complete list of companies is available in the full report) include AbbVie, Akesobio, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Genentech, MacroGenics, MorphoSys, Kyowa Kirin and Xencor.
Question 4: How many Fc and glycoengineered antibodies are currently marketed?
Answer: Around 20 Fc and glycoengineered antibodies are currently marketed across different therapeutic indications.
Question 5: How many companies are currently engaged in the Fc and glycoengineered antibodies market?
Answer: Over 30 companies are currently engaged in the Fc and glycoengineered antibodies industry.
Question 6: Which type of engineering are mainly used to develop Fc and glycoengineered antibodies by various developers?
Answer: At present, majority (93%) of the developers are using Fc engineering to develop Fc and glycoengineered antibodies.
Question 7: Which type of therapy is popular for the development of different Fc and glycoengineered antibodies?
Answer: In the realm of Fc and glycoengineered antibodies, monotherapies are mainly focused, sharing 46% share in the current market.
Question 8: Which target therapeutic area occupies the largest market share of the Fc and glycoengineered antibodies market?
Answer: In 2024, oncological disorders has the largest market share (39%) of the Fc and glycoengineered antibodies market.
Question 9: What is the most common route of administration used for Fc and glycoengineered antibodies?
Answer: Currently, intravenous rou
Thanks Bermuda - interesting possibilities for 'Glycans' and for all 4 of Scancell's platforms . . . . I wonder which of the four will cross the line first, the 'line' being some new commercial action ?
Thanks Johnny. That's good. Noting that Sath is the second of our 2 Executive Directors, he's obviously doing well at Scancell. I wonder what he's up to apart from the routine work ?
I see that with effect from 30 April’24 Keith Green is no longer the Company Secretary and Sath Nirmalananthan is now in that role:-

Lofas and Team Astute must be livid.
Can't moan and/or offer "balance".
While it's quiet the paper below is worth a read.
CAR T therapy has been hugely successful in blood cancers but nobody has yet managed to crack CAR T for solid tumours. In the link below the researchers are exploring ways of improving CAR T through identification of new solid tumour targets and in particular glycans. A couple of quotes:-
'Carbohydrate antigens often exhibit low immunogenicity and typically elicit T-independent immune responses, posing an obstacle to T-cell engagement. Despite these limitations, the implication of TACAs (tumor-associated carbohydrates antigens) in cancer biology has recently sparked significant interest in their potential as targets for immunotherapy. '
'the large number of experimental approaches to circumvent these difficulties, including many studies that are underway, some already in clinical trials, suggest a bright future for CAR-T therapy for solid tumors. Given the limitations of target antigens, tumor-associated carbohydrates are increasingly being explored as optimal targets for this therapy. These carbohydrates can be highly tumor-specific, while being shared among tumors from different individuals and different tissues of origin; therefore, CAR-T cell therapy may have a promising “sweeter” future.'

And what do you have to offer Lofas? Confusion, contradiction and FUD perhaps? For someone who has written this share off you seem awfully interested.
I'm pretty sure CW is not a "him" by the way. But there you go go again, shooting your mouth off without a clue.
…and all is under the research banner. Between him and inanaco they contribute 99% of the white noise.
100%
CW as always keeps on posting and creating chats on subjects with no direct connection. What a waste of time and space.
Chelsea what’s the score on this post.?
I'm with C11. It's a tenuous connection at best.
Genmab have such a big pipeline and, if they trial products discovered by other companies, they need to do due diligence on the science but also due diligence on the business and patent aspects of any deal.
Cleaner - you obviously have no idea how many companies Genmab are working with. To think that they are recruiting for senior postions in their organisation with direct relevance to Scancell is ludicrous. It is just general recruitment, the same as any other large pharma recruit all the time - should we post all their vacancies too? However I’ll give you 10 out of 10 for imagination.
We only have one commercial deal and it’s with Genmab on the Glymab platform. Ld has said someone might want exclusivity! We know there is also interest in them taking another Glymab as they are “happy “ with the one that they have
Chelsea I would like to see some of your research on why it’s not relevant as a counter argument?
How many arrows in the quiver ? All for 9 p

Scientists have created a vaccine that has the potential to protect against a broad range of coronaviruses, including varieties that are not yet even known about.
Still in mice !
Hey Ian Sample your behind on news it’s been done before ? Does anyone know how to email him ?

Texas Biomed partners with Scancell to test novel COVID vaccine - Texas Biomed
SAN ANTONIO (Aug. 29, 2023) – A DNA-based vaccine is very effective at protecting against COVID-19, according to a joint preclinical study by Scancell Ltd and Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) recently published in the Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedicine.
Unlike the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines that use messenger RNA (mRNA) to cue the immune system to produce antibodies, this vaccine platform uses sections of viral DNA to achieve a similar result.
“There is always a need to develop new, or improve on existing vaccines to ensure we have effective tools to counter emerging variants,” says Texas Biomed Innovation Lab Principal Investigator Viraj Kulkarni, PhD. “DNA vaccines are one of the promising alternatives because they are adaptable, simple to generate and effective.”
With respect, I don’t understand the relevance to Scancell of these jobs at Genmab. Of course I understand they are evaluating a Scancell product but the fact they are recruiting for Director roles in their wider organisation, carries no relevance whatsoever to that in my opinion.
Also this is the other role
