BOSTON, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iBio, Inc. (NYSEA:IBIO) (“iBio” or the “Company”), a developer of next-generation biopharmaceuticals and pioneer of the sustainable FastPharming Manufacturing System, announced today that it will present a poster at the 18th Annual Protein & Antibody Engineering Summit (PEGS) Boston Conference & Expo, May 2-5.

Key Points: 
  • Rachel Jordan, PhD, a senior product manager at iBio, will present the poster (#P061), titled "Plant-Made Antibodies Show Superior Glycosylation Homogeneity While Retaining Pharmacokinetic Properties," which highlights:
    The production of a single uniform G0 glycosylation pattern, lacking fucose and xylose, of NISTmAb and rituximab when compared to Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell culture produced antibodies, which contain more heterogeneous glycosylation patterns.
  • Comparability of in vivo rodent pharmacokinetic profiles for NISTmAb and rituximab produced using mammalian cell culture and the FastPharming System.
  • How rapid, scalable transient expression in plants of high-quality mAbs for in vivo studies can significantly shorten the time to achieve in vivo proof-of-concept.
  • Its FastPharming System combines vertical farming, automated hydroponics, and novel glycosylation technologies to rapidly deliver high-quality monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, bioinks and other proteins.
