Kinaxo Extends its Collaboration with Roche

14-Jan-2010 - Germany

Kinaxo Biotechnologies GmbH announced that it has entered into a second collaboration with Roche Diagnostics GmbH. Under the agreement KINAXO will apply its phosphoproteomics technology PhosphoScout® to support targeted treatment approaches currently under development at Roche. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

KINAXO’s phosphoproteomics platform PhosphoScout® enables the identification of regulated protein phosphorylation sites in response to therapeutic antibody or kinase inhibitor treatment. Using state-of-the-art quantitative mass spectrometry, up to 15,000 phosphorylation sites can be monitored in a single experiment, thereby facilitating analysis of the phosphoproteome in patient samples, animal models and cell culture on a global scale. Unlike immunoassays, PhosphoScout® does not require antibodies for detection, thus enabling unbiased, comprehensive phosphoproteome analyses across entire signaling pathways. This positions PhosphoScout® as an upcoming technology for drug mode of action analysis and the stratification of cancer patients receiving targeted therapies.

Topic world Antibodies

Antibodies are specialized molecules of our immune system that can specifically recognize and neutralize pathogens or foreign substances. Antibody research in biotech and pharma has recognized this natural defense potential and is working intensively to make it therapeutically useful. From monoclonal antibodies used against cancer or autoimmune diseases to antibody-drug conjugates that specifically transport drugs to disease cells - the possibilities are enormous
