ARIUS' abstract and accompanying oral presentation examine the mechanism of action of its Trop-2 targeting antibody. Trop-2 is a protein expressed on the cell-surface and found in many cancer indications including pancreatic, colon, breast and prostate cancer. The target is thought to be a key part of the expansive MAPK pathway. The oral presentation will be delivered by Dr. Amandine Truong, Ph.D., ARIUS Research Scientist.
Abstract A70:
"AR36A36.11.1, a monoclonal antibody targeting CD59, enhances complement activity and exhibits potent in vivo efficacy in multiple human cancer models." Session A, Tuesday, October 23, 2007, between 12:30-2:30 p.m. and 5:30-7:30 p.m.
ARIUS' poster presentation discusses CD59, a widely expressed target in malignant tumors that allows cancer cells to evade the immune system. ARIUS' CD59 targeting antibody has the potential to help to activate the immune system in addition to targeting cells directly. The target has been expressed in a large number of cancer indications including breast, colon, lung and prostate.
