ProBioGen has licensed Eucodis Bioscience’s technology to enzymatically link drugs to antibodies. The German contract manufacturer will offer the technology along with its antibody development services. Eucodis engineered its one-step C-LiNK enzymatic method of peptide-based, site-specific conjugation for making antibody-drug conjugates. According to Eucodis, the technology covalently links toxins or other molecules to the C-terminus of either antibody chain, without disturbing the native antibody structure and at a defined antibody-drug ratio.
