IL-PROTEINTECH
Proteintech and HebeCell announce their collaborative partnership to develop proprietary nanobody based chimeric antigen receptor (nCAR) technology for the development and commercialization of iPSC-derived natural killer (iPSC-nCAR-NK) cells, a promising cellular immunotherapy treatment for cancer and other diseases.
Proteintech’s recent acquisition of nanobody manufacturer, ChromoTek, has made them a leading player in the nanobody space. ChromoTek’s high-performing camelid single-chain recombinant reagents, also known as nanobodies, fuel breakthrough research discoveries.
HebeCell holds unique expertise and intellectual property in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and their lineage specific differentiation, especially toward natural killer (NK) cells. Although NK cells are best known for killing virally infected cells, they also play key roles in detecting and controlling early signs of cancer.
“Partnering with Proteintech will give both companies a competitive edge,” said Dr. Allen Feng, the Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of HebeCell, “Our combined expertise and technologies create a unique and special collaboration that will improve the treatment and care of cancer patients.”
Dr. Jason Li, CEO of Proteintech added, “I’ve known Dr. John Lu, Founder and CEO of HebeCell, for many years and I’m glad we have an opportunity to work together on this important project. With HebeCell’s proprietary NK cells and Proteintech’s nanobodies, the two companies can transform the future of cancer therapy.
