Genmab and argenx team up to engineer novel antibody therapies

Pharmaceutical Technology

argenx engineers antibodies for therapeutic use in its Immunology Innovation Program (IIP). Argenx also has three Fc engineering technologies (NHANCE, ABDEG and POTELLIGENT) that it uses to expand its antibody portfolio. The Fc region interacts with the cell surface receptors to cause the protective immune response.
