Business Wire
MabCure, Inc. (OTCBB:MBCI) (“MabCure”), a biotechnology company
using its proprietary technology to create highly specific
monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for the early detection of cancer, has
been featured in a January 14, 2010 article published on GenomeWeb,
the largest online news organization focused on advanced research
tools in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.
The cover story, written by Tony Fong and titled “MabCure Begins
Clinical Trial for Antibody Technology for Use as Cancer
Diagnostic,” describes the company’s “improvement over … strategies
employed by most proteomics companies,” which rely on statistical
differences in expression of normal proteins that may correlate
with cancer. In contrast, MabCure is developing monoclonal
antibodies against cancer-specific antigens (markers) which are
unique to different types of cancers. In the case of ovarian
cancer, MabCure’s approach “seeks to detect antigens specific to
ovarian cancer in order to diagnose the disease with a high level
of certainty.”
Highlighted in the piece is MabCure’s revamped hybridoma
technology which is “…able to generate thousands of antibodies in
about four to six weeks” versus classic hybridoma which is capable
of generating only a few hundred in four to six months. The article
quoted Dr. Amnon Gonenne, MabCure’s president, CEO, and co-founder,
“…if you're looking to screen … a very large population, you need
to be able to [make] very large libraries of antibodies.”
The article went on to discuss MabCure’s scientific strategy to
create antibodies against new and unknown cancer markers. “Rather
than develop antibodies against defined and well-known antigens,
the company took the opposite approach: They generated and found
antibodies against specific antigens without knowing a priori what
they were.”
The article quoted Dr. Gonenne as saying, “…the company plans to
extend the clinical trial to include centers in Europe for
potential approval of a diagnostic in that market. Then, it would
file with the FDA to market such a test in the US.”
Dr. Gonenne commented on the GenomeWeb coverage, “we are
delighted to receive coverage of this caliber from a news
organization as esteemed as GenomeWeb. Media coverage such as this
affords us the opportunity to share our science with the rest of
the scientific community and the public-at-large.”
About MabCure
MabCure is a biotechnology company whose vision is to change the
perception of cancer as being a largely incurable disease. MabCure
owns proprietary technology for the creation of unique and highly
specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) which will be developed as
diagnostic tools, imaging agents and drugs to treat lethal cancers.
MabCure’s initial goal is to develop its novel MAbs as diagnostic
tools for the detection of ovarian and prostate cancers at an early
stage, when these diseases are still localized and highly curable.
