Horizon and Abcam enter license and supply agreement for diploid and haploid cell line models

9 September 2015

UK-based company Horizon Discovery (LSE: HZD), a supplier of research tools and services for genomics research, and research antibodies supplier Abcam (AIM: ABC) have signed a license and supply agreement.

Abcam will have exclusive access to over 1,800 human diploid and haploid cell line models from Horizon’s X-MAN collection. This will aid the functional validation of Abcam’s existing monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. Horizon will develop additional haploid cell lines to validate new antibodies introduced by Abcam.

Data generated by Abcam will provide independent evidence that the cell lines demonstrate the desired functional output for Horizon.
