US Financial Network: ImClones Erbitux to help with head and neck cancer and Invitrogen Corporation expands proteomics capabilities
Jun 08, 2005 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- City of Industry, CA - Biotechnology
industry news provided by Financial News USA (OTC: FNWU). Invitrogen Corporation
(Nasdaq: IVGN) today announced the availability of a suite of proteomics kits
and reagents - anchored by SILAC(TM) protein identification and quantification
labeling technology - designed to help life scientists advance their proteomics
research through the use of mass spectrometry. In concert, the company announced
a co-marketing agreement with Applied Biosystems Group (NYSE: ABI), an Applera
Corporation business, to facilitate the introduction of the SILAC technology.
Under the terms of the alliance, Applied Biosystems and Invitrogen will re-sell
a combined collection of labeling technologies consisting of Applied Biosystems'
proprietary set of protein and peptide labeling technologies - iTRAQ(TM) and
ICAT reagents - and Invitrogen's SILAC technology.
U.S. BioDefense (OTCBB: UBDE) has formed the subsidiary "Stem Cell Research
Institute of California, Inc." to position the company's Stem Cell technology
division for an Initial Public Offering. If successful, the IPO will fund and
accelerate its operational plan to establish the first "Stem Cell Center of
Excellence" in Southern California to focus on collaborative research of Liver
Cell Program. Biotechnology firm ImClone Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: IMCL) said
Wednesday that data from a late-stage study confirmed that its Erbitux drug,
when used in combination with radiation therapy, prevents the spread of head and
neck cancer more effectively than radiation therapy alone. Erbitux is already
approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat colorectal cancer.
