Stellar Biotechnologies’ Exclusive License Agreement on Bayer Innovations/Stellar KLH Technology

Port Hueneme, CA | Posted on December 7th, 2010

The license includes a carve-out by BIG for use of the technology in its non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) vaccine which is currently under development. Otherwise, the license leaves Stellar free to commercialize the technology, exclusively, in all other fields.

Stellar CEO, Frank Oakes said, "The technology developed through the collaboration with BIG represents a breakthrough in the production of highly characterized, immunogenically potent carrier proteins (ICPs), not only in terms of quality and purity, but also for cost management in the final drug product. The technology will be integrated into BIG's NHL vaccine platform, and commercialized broadly by Stellar for other vaccines and related products."
