Presentations Include Proof-of-Concept Animal Data on Previously Disclosed Fusion Protein TT30 and New Molecules TT32 and mAb171
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Taligen Therapeutics Inc. today announced that data from in vivo disease models on several of the company's pipeline candidates will be presented next week at the XXII International Complement Workshop in Basel, Switzerland.
The data, which will be presented in eight oral and poster presentations, are the results of research conducted by the laboratories of Michael Holers, M.D., chief scientific officer of Taligen, and the company's academic collaborators in the complement research community. Five studies testing the company's fusion protein TT30 and two new compounds, a fusion protein TT32 and a monoclonal antibody mAb171, in animal models are highlighted below. These data further support Taligen's approach that targeting the alternative complement pathway can impact complement-mediated inflammatory disease processes.
