Press Release

Concept of text to be used freely by Immatics and Sanquin in external outings

Sanquin licenses its MHC IP portfolio to Immatics to support the development of onco-immunotherapies.

Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) has granted Immatics Biotechnologies GmbH (Tuebingen, Germany) anon-exclusive license to use its proprietary MHC T cell technologies to advance the development of immunotherapies in the field of oncology and infectious diseases.

Cytotoxic T cells in patients can kill cancerous and infected cells when their T Cell Receptor (TCR) recognizes disease specific peptides (antigens) presented byso-called major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on the infected/ tumor cell. The technologies licensed to Immatics enable fast and simple generation of large series ofpeptide-MHC complexes for in vitro immunogenicity assays and for detecting the corresponding antigen-specific T cells in patient samples.
