On January 9, 2017 Atreca, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on developing novel therapeutics based on a deep understanding of the human immune response, reported the scheduled presentation of positive preclinical findings generated via the Company’s Immune Repertoire Capture (IRC) technology (Press release, Atreca, JAN 9, 2017, View Source [SID1234522957]). The findings will be presented at the 16th Annual PepTalk: The Protein Science Week Conference, taking place at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, January 9-13, 2017. The presentation, entitled "Natively Paired B- and T-Cell Immune Repertoires and the Discovery of Potent Antibody Therapeutics," will be delivered by Atreca research scientist Sean Carroll, Ph.D., on Thursday, January 12, at 2:35 p.m. Pacific Time.

N. Michael Greenberg, Ph.D., Atreca’s Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Vice President, stated, "We are proud of the high quality and productivity of our proprietary platform that profiles active anti-tumor immune responses driving positive outcomes in cancer patients undergoing treatment. It is because of the unique features and capabilities of our platform that we are discovering and developing these nextgeneration antibody-based immunotherapies to deliver differentiated combination treatments across a potentially wide range of indications. We look forward to bringing our programs to IND-enabling studies and clinical testing."

Atreca’s IRC technology reveals natively paired and complete variable regions of immunoglobulins expressed by specifically selected B- and T-cells. Using IRC, Atreca has generated repertoires from active immune responses of many patients across multiple indications as well as from target-immunized mice. Analyses of these essentially unbiased and error-free repertoires have yielded immunologic insights as well as potent antibodies targeting tumors, infectious disease antigens, and autoimmune epitopes.
