CB1 MAbs Enter New Development Phase

Caption

Integral Molecular, the industry leader in antibody discovery against multipass membrane proteins, was awarded $1.4 million by the NIH to develop its lead antibodies against cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) for treating the liver disease nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and metabolic disorders, including obesity and metabolic syndrome. With this Phase 2 SBIR grant, Integral Molecular builds on its successful Phase 1 SBIR program isolating antibodies with high specificity and high affinity for CB1. The goal of the Phase 2 project is to develop antibodies for initiating preclinical studies.
