The future of lymphoma treatment

Drug Target Review

We use hydrophilic linkers, which prevent ADC aggregation and generate highly stable ADCs, in combination with a unique attachment site on the antibody to create ADCs that retain pharmacokinetic properties similar to the original unconjugated antibody. This helps to maximize the targeted payload delivery to tumor cells.
