ExpreS2ion’s U.S. partner Integrated BioTherapeutics launches first ExpreS2-based research product
ExpreS2ion Biotech Holding AB’s fully owned subsidiary ExpreS2ion Biotechnologies ApS (“ExpreS2ion”) announces that its U.S.-based partner and licensee Integrated BioTherapeutics (“IBT”) has initiated sales and marketing of its first ExpreS2-based product. The product, an Ebola virus glycoprotein, is marketed as a part of IBT’s high-quality research protein portfolio and can be used in the development of diagnostic or therapeutic products.
ExpreS2ion stated in July 2017 that the Company will receive a two-digit percentage royalty based on net sales of ExpreS2-based products that IBT will develop and sell to its clients. It was also stated that IBT is planning to launch approximately five products for research purposes annually, and that the collaboration is expected to generate annual revenues of up to 1 MSEK to ExpreS2ion, when fully implemented. The launch of this first product is in line with these estimates.
“I am very pleased that the first commercial reagent produced using ExpreS2 under the agreement with IBT is now on the market. This is the first of several planned products that will be marketed through partners, and we expect this new business area to represent both continued revenues as well as additional business opportunities”, says ExpreS2ion’s CEO Dr. Steen Klysner.
The Ebola virus glycoprotein product can be ordered directly from IBT Bioservices’ website, and there is also a catalogue data sheet available. Follow the links below to reach the website or the data sheet, respectively:
