Open Monoclonal Technology Announces OmniAb Alliance With Amgen

Jun 14, 2015

Amgen licenses AMG 714 to start-up Celimmune Dr. Roland Buelow, OMT founder and CEO, said, “Amgen was an early protein therapeutics leader and became one of a few companies with transgenic mouse platforms for human antibody discovery in 2005 when they acquired Abgenix and its XenoMouse®. With the license from OMT, Amgen further builds on this capability as it gains access to complementary platforms for development of fully human, mono- and bispecific antibodies without any target restrictions.” About Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. (OMT) is a leader in genetic engineering of animals for the generation of human therapeutic antibodies, naturally optimized human antibodies®, and the only company in the world with four transgenic animal platforms, jointly known as OmniAb™. OmniRat® is the industry’s first human monoclonal antibody technology based on rats. It has a complete immune system with a diverse antibody repertoire and generates antibodies with human idiotypes as well as wild-type animals make rat antibodies. OmniMouse® is a transgenic mouse that complements OmniRat and expands epitope coverage. OmniFlic™ is an engineered rat with a fixed light chain for development of bispecific, fully human antibodies. UniRat™ is the first transgenic rat generating fully human heavy chain-only antibodies and nanobodies for polyspecific applications. All four OmniAb™ platforms deliver human antibodies with high affinity, specificity, expression, solubility and stability. They use patented technology, have broad freedom to operate and are available worldwide for all targets and indications. Current partners include Amgen, Caltech, Celgene, Chugai, Genmab, Genentech, HanAll, Janssen, Merck KGaA, Pfizer, Roche, Symphogen, University of Nottingham and several undisclosed biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Animal hosting and OmniAb antibody discovery services are available via Antibody Solutions, Panoply Bio and Sage Labs in the US, Aldevron and Taconic Biosciences in Europe, and WuXi AppTec in China.

ImmunoReagents

ImmunoReagents is a cGMP manufacturing facility for antibodies used in the In Vitro Diagnostic Industry, which specializes in polyclonal antibodies to human proteins and secondary antibodies.

A
ApoLife

ApoLife has developed platform yeast expression technologies for accelerated development of therapeutic antibodies (glycosylated and aglycosylated), antibody fragments, fusion proteins and antibodies and subunit vaccines through its Twin Cassette yeast system. ApoLife employs Bakers yeast (S.cerevisiae) which has been used for manufacturing several FDA approved therapeutic products thus giving ApoLife a competitive regulatory advantage over companies using other yeast systems. ApoLife's platform has the capability to make fully functional secreted antibodies and has potential to improve antibody potency. The technology has the capability to accelerate the process of identifying and selecting antibodies for target antigens, reducing the cost and development time by up to 50% of the current process.ApoLife uses its technology to develop anticancer antibodies and immunotoxins with collaborating partners.As a licensing partner, ApoLife has vectors, yeast strains, and production process available for antibody and biogeneric product development.

GRAPP

Grand River Aseptic Pharmaceutical Packaging is a pharmaceutical contract manufacturing organization (CMO) supporting the rapid development of new biomedicines to the clinical stage in the State of Michigan. Grand River APP is the result of an alliance between Van Andel Institute (www.vai.org) and Grand Valley State University, and is operating as a non-profit, state- and federally funded corporation. Grand River APP's first aims to assure that therapeutics are properly distributed into dosage forms for all-important Phase I and Phase II human clinical trials. This process, Fill/Finish and Lyophilization, will be offered broadly to academic, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations in Michigan and across North America for liquid-based drug candidates that require vialing in an FDA-regulated aseptic clean room environment. Typical products envisioned for Grand River APP services include small molecule drugs, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins and nano-medicines. As a consequence, however, Grand River APP cannot process cytotoxic/genotoxic or virally-based candidates (e.g. viral vaccines).
