    Qilu Pharmaceutical introduced an antibody-conjugated drug targeting MUC1 from Peptron this time.


    MUC1 is a highly glycosylated transmembrane protein that plays a vital role in the lubrication and protection of normal epithelial cells.


    Studies have found that MUC1 is overexpressed in a variety of human epithelial malignancies, including breast, prostate, ovarian, pancreatic, colon, etc.


    According to Peptron's official website, PAb001-ADC is a "first-in-class" antibody conjugate drug targeting MUC1-C.
