Crucell and Isu Abxis sign research license agreement

Star technology is a production technology that is useful for the production of recombinant human antibodies and proteins. It is said to be effective for production of antibodies and proteins on mammalian cell lines such as Crucell’s PER.C6 human cell technology and the widely used Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line. The technology also has the potential to increase production yields, thereby reducing production costs.
