Contact: Prof. dr. Bert Devriendt Ghent University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine - Department of Virology, parasitology and immunology - b.devriendt@ugent.be Aminopeptidase N (APN) is a highly efficient transport shuttle through the gut epithelial barrier. Anti-APN single domain antibodies are used as a carrier to target compounds to APN leading to an efficient transport of this complex through the gut epithelium. This enables efficient delivery of pharmaca and antigens (at low dose) to the intestinal mucosa after oral administration. The stimulation of intestinal immune responses after oral administration of anti-APN antibody antigen fusion constructs has been demonstrated.
TTO FlandersTTO Flanders is a joint initiative of the five Flemish universities: Ghent University, University of Antwerp, KU Leuven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Hasselt University. The technology transfer offices (TTOs) of these universities are responsible for the transfer of knowledge and technology from universities and associated university colleges to private and public partners.
