Stellar Biotechnologies and Araclon Biotech Sign Exclusive KLH Supply Agreement for Clinical Trials in Alzheimer's Active Immunotherapies
PORT HUENEME, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 11, 2014) - Stellar Biotechnologies, Inc. ("Stellar" or "the Company") (OTCQB: SBOTF) (TSX VENTURE: KLH) and Araclon Biotech SL ("Araclon") today announced that the companies have executed a definitive exclusive supply agreement to meet Araclon's Phase (II and III) clinical trial requirements for Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) used in Araclon's active immunotherapies against Alzheimer's disease.
Stellar is a leader in sustainable manufacture of KLH, an immune-stimulating protein widely used as a carrier molecule in immunotherapy development. KLH manufacturing is limited by the fact that this important molecule can only be produced from a scarce marine source and Stellar believes it is the only company that has the technology to manage the controlled production of this resource.
