November 8, 2021 -- PDS Biotechnology has licensed the tumor-associated and immunologically active T-cell receptor gamma alternate reading frame protein (TARP) from the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI).
The worldwide nonexclusive license secures rights for the proprietary TARP antigen from the NCI with patent protection through 2034. TARP is used to treat myeloid leukemia and prostate and breast cancers.
PDS Biotech said it is exploring the effectiveness of its candidate PDS0102, which is made using PDS Biotechnology's Versamune T-cell-activating platform and TARP.
