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.
More information about producing consistent, high-quality antibodies in the FastPharming System may be accessed in a whitepaper here.
