ARIUS Receives Six Key US Patents
Strengthens Intellectual Property Portfolio on Lead Programs and Antibody Assets
The new patents cover the antibody molecules and various uses of each antibody and other similar antibodies to treat cancers such as ovarian, prostate and breast cancer. In addition, ARIUS has patent claims covering epitopes or specific parts of a cancer antigen target. According to ARIUS, this patent approach represents a large step up in value over more general target coverage because it is the epitope that determines what a cell will do when an antibody binds to it. In ARIUS' case, functional antibodies bind to epitopes that signal a cancer cell to die.

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
