What is the importance of MODI2 ?10 Aug 2024 09:17
modi 2 is built using snapvax technology.
scancell has identified ****citrullinated epitopes derived from several proteins, including vimentin, aldolase, cytokeratin 8, immunoglobulin binding protein (bip), nucleophosmin (npm), α-enolase and heat shock protein (hsp-60), all of which generate potent t cell responses in preclinical models. evidence exists for all of these proteins having a link to a wide range of cancer types:
colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, breast cell carcinomas, melanomas, pancreas, prostate, liver, colon, stomach and thyroid.
scancell has been able to demonstrate that anti-carbamylated t cell responses can be stimulated against these proteins and that these can mediate potent anti-tumour therapy. a short list of specific ****citrullinated peptides have now been selected for clinical development as the modi-2 vaccine, that have the potential to address different cancer indications to modi-1, including tumours with a particularly immunosuppressive environment.
