ProBioGen and Zymeworks collaborate to complete cell line development on a candidate
Contract development and manufacturing company ProBioGen and Canadian antibody therapeutics company Zymeworks have signed an agreement where ProBioGen will complete cell line development of a Zymeworks candidate.
ProBioGen will apply its GlymaxX Technology to enhance antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).
Volker Sandig, chief scientific officer of ProBioGen , said: “We have been working productively with Zymeworks for some time already and look forward to contributing to the success of Zymeworks’ Azymetric bi-specific antibody platform. Our proprietary CHO expression platform is ideally suited for the expression of bi-specific antibodies with high purities and expression titers. The implementation of our innovative GlymaxX technology for enhanced cancer cell killing underlines the flexibility of our expression platforms’ tool box approach.”
