The ability to increase the potential therapeutic properties of any antibody would therefore be seen as highly advantageous. Scancell has used its AvidiMab™ technology to increase the avidity of its TaG antibodies, and these are currently being evaluated for the treatment of cancer. They are also being developed as antibody-drug conjugates (ADC).3
Professor Lindy Durrant, Chief Scientific Officer of Scancell and Corresponding Author, commented:
"We are pleased to have our work published in the prestigious, peer reviewed journal, Cancer Research. Our AvidiMab™ technology increases the avidity of human antibodies by promoting non-covalent Fc-Fc interactions. This modification also causes direct killing of cancer cells by our glycan targeting antibodies, and therefore we believe this technology has the ability to create superior candidates for cancer immunotherapy."
Sounds good to me!! GN
