Core Technology
Adjuvant Platform Technology
Adjuvan?
- · Adjuvant is a substance used in combination with an antigen to enhance the in vivo cellular and humoral
immune response to a particular antigen.
- · Alum, which was developed over 70 years ago, is the most widely used immune enhancer used in commercial vaccines.
- · In recent years, many researches have been achieved on innate immunity, and an innate immunity enhancer is being used as an adjuvant.
- ·Thus, the adjuvant can be used as a vaccine for various diseases by replacing only specific antigens,
and we are working on applying them to various fields.
Developing Next-generation Adjuvant
Cell Therapy Platform Technology
- · Present in the lymphatic system and intercellular spaces of various tissues, dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen
presenting cells (APCs) having strong antigen-presenting abilities.
- · DCs may either stimulate or regulate immunity, depending on the differentiating environment.
- · Treatment using DC platform can minimize side effects because they are able to control antigen-specific immunity
differently from conventional drugs.
- · In our company, we are in the process of applying a cell therapy agent to intractable diseases, based on the
technology of modulating the function of DCs.
