“Innovent joins more than 30 companies and academic institutions globally as licensees to our transgenic mouse platforms for antibody discovery,” said Dr. Jingsong Wang, CEO of Harbour BioMed. “The increasing adoption of our platforms reflects their power as rapid and efficient antibody discovery tools and our strong intellectual property position.” Dr. Wang noted that the transgenic mice platform licensing operations at Harbour Antibodies complements Harbour BioMed’s therapeutic discovery and development business.

About Harbour Mice
A fully owned subsidiary of Harbour BioMed, Harbour Antibodies owns two strains of transgenic mice for generating human therapeutic antibodies: (1) mice that generate antibodies comprised of two heavy chains and two light chains (H2L2) with fully human variable regions; and (2) mice that generate novel “heavy chain only” antibodies (HCAb). The HCAb mice enable the development of antibody fragment-based therapeutics such as nanobodies, bi-specific antibodies and CAR-T with favorable drug-like properties.
