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.
