“Panectin is a genetically re-engineered, wild-type measles virus, which
discriminates between cancer and healthy tissue.—so it attacks the bad and leaves the good alone.”
Powerful Chain Reaction
“Panectin slips into a cancer cell, makes many copies of itself, and bursts the cell open. Those new copies jump to nearby tumor cells and repeat the process—like knocking over the first domino.
”Hits Tumor, Spares Healthy Tissue“
We removed the part of the virus that normally infects immune cells and aimed it at Nectin-4, a marker found on many tumors. Healthy cells don’t have enough of this marker, so they stay safe.”
Plays Well with Other Drugs
“When Panectin breaks cancer cells apart, it sprays tumor pieces into the body. These pieces wake up the immune system, so immune checkpoint-inhibitor drugs work even better side-by-side with Panectin.”
Long-Lasting Protection
“The immune system learns from this attack. If stray cancer cells pop up later, trained immune cells can find and destroy them.
Meanwhile, Panectin naturally fades away once its work is done.”
