The successful collaboration between Fudan University, its affiliated Public Health Clinical Center and Active Motif has reached a new milestone. Active Motif, on behalf of the collaboration, has licensed four individual antibodies to Hisun BioRay, a leading commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company in China.The goal of the collaboration is to have a group of recombinant GMP produced antibodies that will allow some relief to COV-19 patients with passive immunity. Passive immunity is a short-term immunity that results from the introduction of these antibodies into a person.“I would like to congratulate Dr. Fei Lan, professor at Fudan University and Scientific Advisor of Active Motif Shanghai, Dr. Jianqing Xu, professor at Fudan affiliated Shanghai Public Health Center, as well as Dr. Haibin Wang, Senior Vice President, Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceuticals and CEO of Hisun BioRay, the biologic division, for making this very exciting achievement a reality”, said Joe Fernandez, Chairman of Active Motif.The goal of the collaboration is to have GMP production and Primate data available in the next two months.“If our in vitro and viral data correlate positively in primates, these human antibodies will have the potential to do a lot of good for the treatment of COVID-19 infection and providing a lot of relief to patients. We will work together in the next few months to determine the efficacy of these antibodies in various populations. It’s an honor to Work with Dr. Wang and her staff at Hisun BioRay, says Professor Lan.
