PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Integral Molecular, a leading biotech company specializing in antibody discovery against undruggable protein targets, announced today that it has entered into an antibody license agreement with Seismic Therapeutic. Under the terms of the agreement, Integral Molecular will provide an exclusive license to Seismic Therapeutic for a collection of fully humanized, highly specific, preclinical antibodies to add to their platform, library, and pipeline of molecules in the immunology space. Seismic Therapeutic will assume full responsibility for all research, development, and commercialization activities related to these antibodies.

The antibodies licensed by Seismic Therapeutic were identified using Integral Molecular's MPS Antibody Discovery platform. This platform is built upon the company's 20+ years of experience in working with the most challenging protein targets and ability to deliver preclinical lead candidate molecules. Unique aspects of this platform include the use of advanced immunization strategies including combinations of RNA, DNA and protein boosting via Lipoparticles, and evolutionarily divergent host animals (chickens) capable of generating diverse panels of antibodies against highly conserved targets.

"We are thrilled that Seismic chose Integral Molecular as a partner for their antibody discovery efforts," said Ross Chambers, PhD, VP of Antibody Discovery at Integral Molecular. "Using chickens as immunization hosts was important for Seismic's project, as conventional approaches like mouse immunization would not have produced the diverse antibodies needed for their program. We wish Seismic Therapeutic much success as they continue to develop these antibodies."
