ANTIBODIES USED TO TREAT
MANY DISEASES
Utilizing antibodies to treat disease isn’t
a new concept. Historically, they’ve been
crucial in cases of anthrax, plague, rabies,
and spider and snake bites, going back as
far as the late 19
th
century. Their natural
properties mean that they have only mini-
mal toxicity, and they provide immediate
immunity against the disease that can last
for weeks or even months.
Anogen has been instrumental in develop-
ing technology used in treatments for skin
ailments such as psoriasis, eczema, acne
and rosacea. A topical cream known as
Abcream, used to treat psoriasis and ecze-
ma, has gone through multi-phase clinical
trials in 18 hospitals in China and has been
approved by the country’s State Food &
Drug Administration. International patents
have been granted by other countries for
the promising new treatment.
The company’s team of research scien-
tists are looking to the future, working to
discover unknown inflammatory factors
and their targets and then develop effec-
tive antibodies, which are the key to the
future treatment of disease. To learn more
