Affitech and XOMA Sign Antibody Collaboration and Cross-License Agreement
The agreement allows XOMA to use Affitech's naïve antibody library for target research and discovery purposes as well as the development and commercialization of selected antibodies. In addition, Affitech has agreed to build patient-derived libraries for XOMA and discover new antibodies against XOMA targets exploiting Affitech's patient libraries, AffiscreeN(TM) system and its leading edge C.B.A.S.(TM)(Cell-Based Antibody Screening) technology.
The agreement also provides for a release of Affitech and designated collaborators from any past activities using XOMA's antibody expression technology, and allows Affitech to use the XOMA technology in combination with its own technologies in future collaborations.

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
