Fusion Antibodies And C-Term Diagnostics Develop Novel In Vitro Diagnostic Products

C-Term and Fusion Antibodies have been working together for more than two years and have successfully developed highly specific antibodies against the signal transduction region of tissue factor for application in various immunoassay configurations. The companies are today announcing a significant breakthrough for a difficult to produce diagnostic antibody.

Belfast, UK (PRWEB UK) - C-Term Diagnostics is a private UK-based immunodiagnostic company focused on the development of novel in vitro diagnostic products for cancer and other diseases. The company is developing clinical laboratory kits and point of care rapid immunodiagnostic tests for population screening, monitoring therapy, and detection of recurrence of various cancers.

C-Term have stated that they are delighted to be working with Fusion Antibodies and that Fusion has been a most enthusiastic and helpful partner. The Fusion Antibodies team has provided critical polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies that have successfully been applied in C-Term's diagnostic kits. Fusion and C-Term have now jointly developed a difficult-to-produce genetically engineered antibody which will allow quantification of a specific epitope on tissue factor. "We are very confident that Fusion Antibodies will provide a high-quality genetically engineered antibody that has proved to be difficult to obtain through standard methods," says Dr. Robert Greenfield, CSO and co-founder of C-Term Diagnostics.

At the time of writing, successful proof of principle studies have already been completed and C-Term Diagnostics expect to have specific clinical trial work underway in the UK and beyond later this year. It is currently envisioned that the first diagnostic kits will be available in 2015.

C-Term Diagnostics' ground-breaking work with Fusion is planned to continue for some time with multiple connected programmes on the horizon.
