AbVision has successfully developed proprietary drug technology platforms for generating next generation of bio-therapeutics. Using our emerging platforms, AVI is able to advance numerous innovative drug candidates in cancer therapy and infectious diseases.

Therapeutic Antibody

SpeedyAb™ technology platform provides high-throughput features of antibody screening for obtaining the therapeutic leads with high affinity and broad diversity.

  • Competitive Strength
Current HurdlesSpeedyAb™
Immunogen
  • Be subject to cross-react with other homologies
  • Require large amount immunogens (> 0.5 mg)
  • Highly specific
  • Trace amount sufficient (< 0.1 mg)
Immunization
  • Require repeated injection schedules
  • Long lead time (2-3 months)
  • Co-injection of adjuvants required
  • Low to moderate immunogenicity
  • Low to moderate degree of affinity maturation
  • Significantly reduce times of injections
  • Short lead time (1-1.5 months)
  • Platform-derived high immunogenicity
  • High degree of affinity maturation
Screening
  • Low throughput and labor intensive
  • Functional screening infeasible
  • Feasible for high throughput
  • Speedily identify the clones with biological activities

Vaccine

ImmunoBuster I+II™ technology platform develops powerful vaccines with strong immunogenicity for prophylactic and therapeutic treatment without repeated immunization required. An Immunological module for eliciting quick yet robust immunity and is comparable with commercially available vaccine.

  • Competitive Strength
Current HurdlesImmunoBuster  I+II™
Vaccination
  • Multiple immunization schedules required
  • Mainly for prophylactic use
  • Less effects of dose regimens and doses
  • Single or double immunization sufficient
  • Feasibility for prophylaxis and therapeutics
  • Low amount sufficient for an effective dose
  • Improvement of PK profile
Response
  • Slow immune response against targets of our choice
  • Less persistence and functionality of innate and antigen-specific immune response
  • Quick immune response against targets of our choice
  • Good persistence/long lasting of immune response
  • Strong non-Ag-driven innate and antigen-specific immune responses

Cell Therapy

TsKill™ technology platform empowers rare tumor-reactive T cells to effectively destroy tumors by enhancing the functionality of effector cells and tumor recognition.

Current HurdlesTsKill™
Administration
  • Autologous cell infusion required
  • Availability for ex vivo expansion for cell infusion
  • Feasibility for in vivo expansion tumor-specific T cells
Response
  • Low number of tumor-specific T cells
  • Less potent of effector functions
  • Possible oncogenic off-target effects
  • Significantly increase the quantity tumor-specific T cells
  • Significantly enhance the quality/effector functions of tumor-specific T cells
  • Less concern of off-target effects
Production
  • Genetic engineering of immune cells required
  • Virus transduction or electroporation required
  • Big burden on CMC process (QA/QC)
  • Time-consuming and costly
  • Infeasibility of quickly switching targets
  • No transduction and transfection required
  • One-step expansion tumor-specific T cells
  • Less complex on CMC process (QA/QC)
  • Reduce time and cost significantly
  • Quickly apply on various tumor-associated/specific Ags
