Regarding Scancel
Scancell, a biopharmaceutical company in the clinical stage, is applying its proprietary knowledge gained from years of studying the human adaptive immune system to develop innovative treatments for infectious disease and cancer that currently have substantial unmet medical requirements. The organization is constructing a series of groundbreaking products through the application of its four technological platforms: GlyMab® and AvidiMab® for antibodies; and Moditope® and ImmunoBody® for vaccines.
Adaptive immune responses comprise T cells and antibodies, both of which are capable of identifying compromised or infected cells. Scancell utilizes monoclonal antibodies to redirect immune cells or medications, as well as vaccines to stimulate immune responses, in order to eliminate these cancerous or infected cells. Unique to the organization is the fact that its cutting-edge products specifically target lipid and protein modifications. This includes homocitrullination and citrullination of proteins for the vaccines, whereas its mAb portfolio enhances the potency of antibodies and their capacity to directly destroy tumor cells or targets glycans or sugars that are added to proteins and/or lipids.
