InNexus Biotechnology Inc. (TSX:IXS.V) (http://www.ixsbio.com), commercializing the next generation of antibodies based on its groundbreaking Dynamic Cross Linking (DXL(TM)) technology, today announces the Journal of Anti-Cancer Drugs is publishing the manuscript titled, "The autophilic anti-CD20 antibody DXL625 displays enhanced potency due to lipid raft-dependent induction of apoptosis" by Bingaman et al.
The manuscript showcases in detail how InNexus' lead product, DXL625 (anti-CD20) induces apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells, having a mechanism not previously seen with commercially available antibody drugs including Rituxan(R). Comparison experiments were also conducted with Rituxan(R) to confirm this unique cell killing ability.
"DXL625 was found to be superior in (1) inhibiting growth of lymphoma cells and (2) directly inducing lymphoma cell death," said Dr. Thomas Kindt, InNexus' Chief Scientific Officer. "Treatment with DXL625, even in the absence of any secondary immune mechanisms, elicited significant levels of lymphoma cell apoptosis, while equivalent treatment with the commercially available alternative did not."
"Our manuscript provides wonderful insight into our DXL(TM) technology and is indeed a testament to the accomplishments of our scientific team and the value of their work toward the advancement of cancer research," said Jeff Morhet, Chief Executive Officer of InNexus. "We look forward to advancing DXL625 to Phase I clinical trials and look forward to the team's continued success through 2010 and beyond."
The manuscript is available now for download in the Published Ahead of Print section of the Journal's website.
