Building from of the well-understood cellular targeting abilities of antibodies, we combine the intrinsic efficiency of enzymes with the unique specificity of metal-free click chemistry to replace the native antibody glycan with a stably attached therapeutic payload.
Following millions of years of evolution, the native glycan was retained in a similar position on all antibodies and GlycoConnect™ is built entirely around this.
Any antibody can be converted into a stably conjugated ADC in just a few days by modifying the native antibody glycan using our highly efficient enzymes and metal-free click chemistry approach.
Multiple independent experiments confirm that the native glycan position is likely one of the best for attaching ADC payloads to antibodies.
We use GlycoConnect™ to conjugate a separate antibody binding domain or cytokine (similar to an ADC payload), enabling bispecific immune cell engagers or checkpoint inhibitors from full-sized antibodies.
Differentiates ADC versus other site-specific ADC technologies
Multiple linker-payloads spanning various mechanisms of action
Protein-based molecules that recruit T and NK cells
GlycoConnect™ design easily matches payload potency with the most appropriate drug-antibody ratio (DAR).
Forming an integral part of every toxSYN®
linker-payload, HydraSpace® bears a negative charge at physiological pH and improves:
