Immunology

Many people experience allergic reactions to certain foods, medicines, and elements in their environment, such as pollen. These are all examples of immune sensitivities that some people develop to particular proteins.

Helping eliminate allergic reactions

Genencor recognized that if we could identify the specific part/piece of the proteins that cause allergic reactions, we could alter them to make them safer. Our extraordinary tool, the i-mune® assay, enables us to do this.

Using the i-mune® assay within our i-biotech® technology platform, we can reduce the potential for an allergic response to new biomaterials early in the discovery and development process.
