About DXL[TM] Technology

DXL[TM] technology works by integrating self-binding peptides into monoclonal antibodies, potentiating target binding. Modified antibodies "cluster" upon engaging the target receptor site, resulting in greater "molecular mass" at the point of association. This may facilitate cancer cell destruction in a target dependent manner by increasing apoptosis, antibody dependent cell cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity. In addition, DXL[TM] antibodies have significantly extended dissociation rates, as measured by surface plasmon resonance.
