09-07-2012: Calixar and Synthelis announced that they have entered into an alliance for the production and isolation of all types of target membrane proteins. The results of this collaboration will have applications ranging from the development of antibodies to the discovery of new drugs, including the determination of the structure of these targets and vaccine formulations.
Instead of trying to produce these proteins themselves, users will be given access to state-of-the-art production and purification technologies, enabling them to concentrate on their core activities. Furthermore, thanks to the critical mass of skills and technologies made available to them, they will be assured of obtaining targets in their native conformation, thus guaranteeing the success of their programs for developing new drugs, vaccines and therapeutic antibodies.
