XBiotech Wins “Commercial Real Estate Award for Industrial Development” for its Headquarters in Austin, Texas
The acclaimed “open air” facility is home to XBiotech’s proprietary True Human™ therapeutic antibody discovery and manufacturing platform. True Human™ antibodies are not commercially produced or marketed anywhere else in the world (all currently available/marketed therapeutic antibodies are either of animal origin or have been modified from the original human sequences in attempt to target specific diseases. Modified antibodies differ from antibodies that the human body creates*).
*Currently marketed biologic antibody treatments are classified as either “Humanized” or “Fully Human”. “Humanized” antibodies have been sourced from non-human species and modified to become more similar to human antibodies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanized_antibody “Fully Human” antibodies are derived from either transgenic mice or developed from human gene sequences that are modified to create antibody drug. When either “Humanized” or so-called “Fully Human” antibodies are introduced into the human bloodstream, the immune system can recognize this as foreign and react to reject them, and these antibodies can cause various side effects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclonal_antibody
XBiotech’s True Human™ antibodies are sourced from humans and derived without modification from individuals who possess natural immunity to certain diseases. With discovery and clinical programs across multiple disease areas, XBiotech’s True Human™ antibodies have the potential to harness the body’s natural immunity to fight disease with a high degree of safety, efficacy, and tolerability.
At its
XBiotech’s state-of-the-art bioreactor technology replaces the complex, extremely expensive plant and equipment infrastructure that is used by other producers of antibody therapeutics. This technology allows
