Remember there was a Scancell speaker on the Agenda yesterday afternoon at PEGS Boston.

Glycans are excellent tumor targets. Notably, the same glycan expressed on a range of glycoproteins/lipids allows mAbs to target multiple antigens some of which can internalize whilst others are retained on the cell surface. Our mAbs can be potent ADCs but also retain ADCC/CDC activity and can cause membrane perturbation resulting in direct cell lysis. Additionally, Avidimab increases the avidity of any mAb and results in improved tumor killing.
We also believe Lindy was in attendance and so networking opportunities galore I hope! As Burble endorsed, PEGS is huge.
Fingers crossed for a blue day ahead.
