Cellmid supplied Fujikura with its proprietary anti-midkine diagnostic antibodies for validation on Fujikura’s latex platform. Proceeding to a license agreement was conditional on Fujikura reaching accuracy of 500 picogram/ml midkine on its latex diagnostic platform using Cellmid’s antibodies.
Cellmid is an Australian biotechnology company developing innovative novel therapies and diagnostic tests for inflammatory diseases, heart attack and cancer.
Fujikura has since completed this milestone, reached the required accuracy and advised Cellmid of its intention to exercise its Option. The parties will now proceed to a supply and license agreement for the development and marketing of multiple cancer diagnostic products using Fujikura’s latex assay with Cellmid’s MK antibodies.
