AntoXa Corporation and SwiftPharma will present their work to develop and commercialize a plant-made antibody treatment for #ricin exposure to the NATO Biological Defense Medical Expert Panel on Sept. 19 in Tournai, Belgium. The patented process for manufacturing the PhD9 antibody was developed by AntoXa, a PlantForm Corporation subsidiary, under license from Defence Research and Development Canada | Recherche et développement pour la défense Canada. AntoXa and SwiftPharma have a strategic collaboration agreement to accelerate advancement of the drug in European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) markets. SwiftPharma will use its recently completed state-of-the-art GMP manufacturing facility in Belgium to produce PhD9 for clinical trials and commercial sale.

📣 New publication: The first on plant-derived 🌿 recombinant hemopexin! This research article, published in the American Journal of Physiology (Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology), shows that AntoXa Corporation's plant-made hemopexin product functions in an identical manner to the human (serum-derived) protein. AntoXa is a PlantForm Corporation subsidiary focused on biodefense therapeutics. Hemopexin is used to treat conditions associated with high levels of heme in serum - such as exposure to halogenated compounds (e.g., chlorine and phosgene from an industrial accident or bioterrorism), sickle-cell disease, or from a blood transfusion. The plant-made hemopexin product opens up the potential for bulk production of hemopexin as a human biotherapeutic. This is important because the only current source is derived from donor serum and recovery rates are very low. This publication is in collaboration with our research partners at University of Alabama at Birmingham. Authors: Sadis Matalon, Zhihong Yu, Shubham Dubey, Israr Ahmad, Emily M. Stephens, Ammar Saadoon Alishlash, Ashley Meyers, Doug Cossar, Don Stewart.
