Diatheva’s mAb 2G8 has been shown to be effective in multiple models of fungal diseases including vaginal and systemic Candida infection, invasive Aspergillosis and Criptococcus Neoformans.
Mouse anti 1,3 β glucan (Clone 2G8)
Description
Diseases caused by fungi constitute a large fraction of health care-associated infections and they are increasingly impacting on the health of populations. Subject categories at high risk of fungal infection are cancer patients under immunosuppressive chemotherapy, subjects undergoing major surgery and critically-ill patients under supportive ventilation and bearing central venous and urinary catheters. Both diagnosis and antifungal therapy are of limited effectiveness in these patients, resulting into treatment failures and associated mortality. In addition, the spectrum of fungal pathogens has enlarged to include yeasts and moulds that are refractory to most antifungals, posing remarkable challenges to infection control measures.
