Oxford BioMedica
has developed proprietary gene delivery and transfer technologies
that are used to create vaccines, gene therapies and cell-based
therapies for the treatment of a broad range of diseases.
Oxford BioMedica's
proprietary LentiVector® technology
represents the most advanced tool currently available for the treatment
of chronic diseases such as neuro-degenerative, ocular and cardiovascular
disease. The Company's retroviral vectors and novel production systems
have enabled the development of gene-based products for enhancing
existing cancer therapies. In addition the Company has proprietary
products that exploit pox viruses as cancer vaccines and adenoviruses
for cell engineering.
LENTIVECTOR
LentiVector
is a new gene delivery vector based on lentiviruses. LentiVector
systems contain only the few viral components required for efficient
gene delivery. These so-called ‘minimal vectors’ are
now candidates for clinical use as gene delivery vehicles. Oxford
BioMedica has shown that minimal lentiviral vectors are able to
deliver genes to a wide range of dividing and non-dividing cells,
including neurons in the brain. Oxford BioMedica has pending and
granted patents on the technology, providing a sound basis for freedom-to-operate
in this field.
LENTIVECTOR
TECHNOLOGY
A proprietary gene transfer system based on the lentivirus Equine
Infectious Anaemia Virus (EIAV).
