Under the agreement, DCprime has obtained the global research and commercialization rights to certain process development patents owned by Glycotope. In addition, the companies have initiated a research collaboration to evaluate novel immunotherapeutic approaches to solid tumours, based on the combination of their proprietary technologies.

Henner Kollenberg, Managing Director, Glycotope commented: "This is an exciting opportunity and we look forward to working with DCprime. Through this collaboration we will look to draw on DCprime’s expertise in the development of dendritic cell therapies and combine this with our own knowledge of glyco-biology to evaluate potential new immunotherapies."

Erik Manting, CEO of DCprime added: "It is a pleasure to work with Glycotope based on their strong basis in process development and immuno-oncology. This collaboration allows us to pursue new and innovative combination therapies based on DCOne and immunomodulatory antibodies."
