SAFAbody™

에이프릴바이오 고유의 알부민 바인더 융합기술

What’s so good about it?
  • 독점성

    전 세계에서 유일하게 독점적 사용 권리 확보

  • 차별성

    타 지속형 기술과는 다르게 약물이 암조직 및 염증부위로 이동되므로 항암 혹은 항염증 치료제 개발에 유리

  • 확장성

    항체, 사이토카인, 성장인자, 막단백질 등 제한없이 적용되며 이중기능의 바이오 의약품 제작이 가능

  • 낮은 부작용

    완전 인간항체 절편으로 인체투여시 면역원성 우려가 없으며 면역세포의 Fc수용체와 결합하지 않아 면역적 간섭을 유발하지 않음

  • 반감기 증대

    알부민의 체내 지속기간은 19일로, SAFA를 적용한 바이오의약품의 반감기는 이와 유사한 수준으로 증대될 수 있음
