PASADENA, Calif., April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Meditope Biosciences, Inc., a biotechnology company developing novel antibody-based products using its proprietary technology, today announced presentation of data demonstrating the use of its SnAP technology platform for the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The data were presented in an abstract at the AACR Annual Meeting 2015, taking place April 18-22 in Philadelphia.
Scientists at the company demonstrated the successful transplantation of the meditope binding site to several antibodies. Meditope-peptides of different affinities were then selected by rational design and fine-tuned according to the requirements of specific application. For ADC development, data show that the meditope-peptides are conjugated with cytotoxic payloads and the higher the affinity of the meditope-peptide-drug conjugate for the antibody, the higher the complex's cytotoxic potential against antigen-positive tumor cells.

Meditope Biosciences' SnAP - Site-specific, novel Antibody Platform—technology is carving a new space in antibody design by turning antibodies into a "Lego-like" piece that can be combined with other pieces to expand functionality by easily 'snapping' anything imaginable on to (or off of) an antibody.
