Open Monoclonal Technology Announces 2nd Academic OmniAb(TM) Alliance
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Open Monoclonal Technology,
Inc. (OMT) today announced an alliance that provides the Berlin-Brandenburg
Center for Regenerative Therapies (BCRT) with access to OMT's OmniRat(®),
OmniMouse(®) and OmniFlic(TM) human antibody generation platforms. BCRT is
supported by Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht,
the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the States of Berlin
and Brandenburg. The mission of the BCRT is to translate new diagnostic and
therapeutic approaches from bench-to-bedside. The institution will be OMT's
2(nd) academic partner with such unlimited OmniAb(TM) access.
Professor, Hans-Dieter Volk, MD, said "Human monoclonal antibodies enable
completely new options for targeted therapy. The BCRT at the Charité will
implement a core unit to generate antibodies against novel targets by using
OMT's innovative technology platforms particularly for therapies in
immunological diseases, regenerative medicine and oncology."
Dr. Roland Buelow, OMT founder and CEO, continued "The BCRT becomes OMT's second
academic and 18(th) global partner with unlimited platform access. OMT looks
forward to combining the world-class biological-clinical research of the BCRT
with OMT's industry-leading transgenic animal platforms to make further strides
in treating challenging human diseases."
About OMT Group
Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. (OMT), OMT Therapeutics, Inc. (OMTT), and
Recombinant Antibody Technology, Ltd. (RAT) are leaders in genetic engineering
of animals for the generation of mono-, bi- and poly-specific human therapeutic
antibodies, naturally optimized human antibodies(®), and the only group in the
world with four transgenic animal platforms.
OmniRat(®) is the industry's first human monoclonal antibody technology based on
rats. It has a complete immune system with a diverse antibody repertoire and
generates antibodies with human idiotypes as well as wild-type animals make rat
antibodies. OmniMouse(®) is a transgenic mouse that complements OmniRat and
expands epitope coverage. OmniFlic((TM))is an engineered rat with a fixed light
chain for development of bispecific, fully human antibodies. Full-length human
antibodies from these three animals are called OmniAb((TM)).UniRat((TM)) is the
first transgenic rat generating human UniAb(TM) heavy chain-only antibodies and
nanobodies for polyspecific applications.
All four platforms use patented technology, have broad freedom to operate and
deliver fully human antibodies with high affinity, specificity, expression,
solubility and stability. Animals are hosted in master colonies globally by
Charles River Labs and Taconic with backups at Genentech and Roche. OmniAb and
UniAb antibody discovery services are available via Antibody Solutions, OMTT and
Sage Labs in the US, Aldevron and Taconic in Europe and WuXi AppTec in Asia.
OmniAb and UniAb antibodies are available for all applications, indications and
territories. Current partners include Amgen, ARMO, Berlin-Brandenburg Center for
Regenerative Therapies, Caltech, Celgene, Chugai, Five Prime, Genmab, Genentech,
Gloria, HanAll, Janssen, Merck KGaA, Pfizer, Roche, Seattle Genetics, Symphogen,
University of Nottingham and some undisclosed biotech and pharmaceutical
companies.
