ImmunoPrecise Launches TATX-112 Candidate Antibody Program, for the Treatment of Cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease - Seite 2

Talem’s Pipeline

As the different clinical application options for TATX-112 antibodies require a functionally diversified set of lead candidates and antibody format flexibility, Talem relied on two of IPA’s proprietary target-enrichment antibody discovery platforms, B cell Select and DeepDisplay. Following selection of both target-reactive B cells from target immunized chicken and human scFvs from IPA’s in-house phage libraries, 50 sequence-unique antibodies of particular interest were prioritized for more in-depth characterization to bin antibodies for further (indication-specific) clinical development.

In addition to TATX-112, Talem is continuing development efforts of its other potential products leveraging its pipeline of highly differentiated therapeutic antibody programs for the potential treatment of various disease areas, including heart disease, inflammation, infectious diseases and cancer. The Company’s most advanced development program, TATX-03 (“anti-SARS PolyTope”), is a fully human, synergistic, antibody cocktail containing potently neutralizing antibodies against non-overlapping epitopes on SARS-CoV-2.

“Generating a diversified anti-target antibody panel during the discovery phase is key to a successful therapeutic lead campaign, in particular for programs that are aimed at obtaining antibodies with different modes of action,” stated ImmunoPrecise President and CEO, Dr. Jennifer Bath. Leveraging our robust target-enrichment antibody discovery technologies, B cell Select and DeepDisplay, we discovered a highly sequence diverse pool of anti-target antibodies, which allows proper down-selection of the best-performing lead candidates for further development, thereby increasing the chance of successful clinical application.”

About B cell Select

IPA’s B cell Select platform enables the interrogation of a greater diversity of an antibody repertoire. By interrogating isolated B cells, IPA can analyze full organism repertoires with very little manipulation. This proprietary platform is species independent allowing for the generation of antibodies from samples not possible using other methods. B cell Select has the potential to develop antibodies from any species (including humans) as well as from any tissue. As the platform explores the entire antibody repertoire, it provides the opportunity to develop antibodies for anything that is possible in an animal’s immune repertoire including any protein class, complex therapeutic targets, post-translational modifications, and small molecules.
