Sweeping Antibody
The Sweeping Antibody is a recycling antibody that was engineered further to bind to Fc receptors and enhance the cellular uptake of antibody-antigen complex. This allows the antibody to not only bind to target antigens in plasma but also eliminate or remove them. Our first Sweeping Antibody, GYM329, is being tested in clinical studies, and we have multiple Sweeping Antibody projects within the drug discovery stage.
