Glycotope and Max Delbrück Center enter into research collaboration to explore combination of GlycoTargets and CAR technology
Berlin, Germany, 25 September 2023 – Glycotope GmbH (Glycotope) and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association have signed an agreement to explore the potential of combining Glycotope’s antibodies against protein/carbohydrate combined glyco-epitopes (GlycoTargets) with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology developed by the Max Delbrück Center.
- Berlin, Germany, 25 September 2023 – Glycotope GmbH (Glycotope) and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association have signed an agreement to explore the potential of combining Glycotope’s antibodies against protein/carbohydrate combined glyco-epitopes (GlycoTargets) with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology developed by the Max Delbrück Center.
- However, in some indications, including harder to treat cancers with solid tumors, success has been limited.
- In the scope of the newly established collaboration, highly tumor-specific antibodies developed by Glycotope will be combined with the CAR technology of the Max Delbrück Center to analyze their suitability for the treatment of solid tumors.
- The CAR program at the Max Delbrück Center includes several proprietary antibody binders targeting hematologic tumors.
