Business Wire
Proteonomix, Inc. (OTCBB: PROT), a biotechnology company focused
on developing therapeutics based upon the use of human cells and
their derivatives, today announced that it has entered into an
exclusive worldwide license agreement for a novel source of primary
human cells that secrete a factor capable of inhibiting tumor cell
growth and causing tumor cell death. The technology was developed
by Ian McNiece, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of the Company.
The technology consists of methods for isolation and propagation
of the primary human cells, gene profiles obtained from the cells
identifying candidate micro RNAs and growth factor genes, and
methods for generating culture media conditioned by these cells for
isolation of the inhibitory factor or factors.
“Recent experiments demonstrated the ability of these novel
human cells and even the culture media conditioned by these cells
to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, ultimately leading to
their death,” said Proteonomix Chief Technology Officer Steven
Byle. “This technology has the potential to identify molecules that
can kill tumor cells and provides insights into the potential
delivery of these inhibitory factors in vivo.”
Terms of the license included an upfront license fee, an
agreement with a related party and payments due upon achieving
clinical and regulatory milestones based on success in developing
products, as well as a royalty on sales of products resulting from
this technology.
