The project seeks to move EPS 201 closer to the clinic through development of product quality assays, _in vivo_ models for GLP toxicology and efficacy, and a manufacturing cell line for progression to GMP. IgE provides a completely unique anti-cancer mode of action which enables our products to be clearly differentiated from IgG-based therapies.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
