Dako and Epitomics enter into strategic alliance on developing and launching IHC diagnostic monoclonal antibodies
Dako's expertise within the field of human cancer diagnostics, including development of new diagnostic antibodies relevant in identifying, differentiating and characterizing tumors, and Epitomics' exclusive intellectual property rights and expertise within development and production of rabbit monoclonal antibodies are the key ingredients to future development of routine diagnostics, prognostics and predictive immunohistochemical assays, also known as companion diagnostics or PharmacoDiagnostics (PharmDxTM).
Besides the development and launch of new state-of-the-art monoclonal antibodies the strategic alliance between Dako and Epitomics also includes a technology transfer from Epitomic's to Dako's facilities.
The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
