Aragen Bioscience, Inc. and CEVEC Sign License Agreement for Human CAP and CAP-T Technology
CEVEC Pharmaceuticals and Aragen Bioscience, Inc. announced today the signing of a strategic license agreement. This license enables Aragen Bioscience to offer its clients custom recombinant human cell lines expressing biotherapeutic proteins and antibodies as well as the transient and stable production of preclinical and clinical grade material.
The transient CAP-T TM protein production technology is based on CAP® cells, an immortalized cell line for stable protein production developed by CEVEC. These non-tumor origin cell lines exhibit high protein expression, have been adapted to serum-free suspension culture and show post-translational modifications that are human-like, including authentic human glycosylation patterns.
Rick Srigley, CEO of Aragen Bioscience said: “We are very excited about the potential of CEVEC's CAP and CAP-T technology. We believe that human cells will be a superior production system for a variety of complex proteins. CEVEC’s technology is a valuable addition to our existing expression portfolio and will enable our customers to pursue new directions for proteins that were difficult to express in the past or did not show satisfactory posttranslational modifications.”
