Oncobodies target stromal cancer
We can deliver anti-cancer drugs specifically to tumor-supporting structures.
Oncobodies®
Some forms of cancer trick the body into forming a supportive structure around the tumor cells. This structure feeds and protects the cancer cells. The cells that make up this so-called tumor stroma are very similar to activated myofibroblasts.
To target these cells, we are presently developing purpose-designed vectors called Oncobodies®, Oncobody®-Tracer Conjugates and Oncobody®-Drug Conjugates.
