Notes for Editors
1. CAT's business is based on a world leading platform technology for the
rapid isolation of human monoclonal antibodies. The technology has
applications both in the development of antibody-based human therapeutic
products and as a drug discovery tool, particularly for functional genomics.
CAT is capitalising on the strength of its platform technology by building a
diverse portfolio of antibody-based human therapeutic products.
CAT is also using its platform technology as a drug discovery tool, to seek to
secure licenses and collaborative agreements with other pharmaceutical
companies, including genomics companies, thereby gaining further access to
antibody targets of potential therapeutic interest.
CAT had already entered into a number of licence and collaborative agreements
with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. These include ICOS
Genentech, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Knoll (BASF), Knoll (BASF)/Genetics Institute,
Mitsubishi Chemical, Techniclone and ObeSys (with BTG).
