Searching for an effective treatment for COVID-19

Apogenix has entered the global fight against COVID-19. Lead immunotherapy candidate asunercept (APG101) is being evaluated in two clinical phase II trials in patients with COVID-19 disease. With its unique mechanism of action, asunercept may reduce lymphopenia, lung epithelial damage, and inflammatory cell death in COVID-19 patients, thus providing a unique therapeutic approach for this devastating disease.

A Comprehensive Tool Set for COVID-19 Research

Sino Biological is a world-leading manufacturer of recombinant protein and antibody reagents for life science researches and drug discoveries. In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have developed a series of active reagents (virus proteins, antibodies, and pseudoviruses) to facilitate serologic tests and anti-viral drug developments.

Complete toolkit for SARS-CoV-2 antigen test

Sino Biological Inc. has developed a complete toolkit for SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests, including a large panel of antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 S&N proteins and antibody pairs that can be used to assemble detection assays for the corresponding antigen.

Antiviral drugs for pandemic preparedness

Viral pandemics are not a once-in-a-lifetime event but a constant threat looming over our heads. While the fight against SARS-CoV-2 is currently a top priority, we should not lose sight of what might come next. Broad-spectrum antiviral drugs like Atriva’s ATR-002, currently in Phase II clinical development for treating COVID-19, could be an effective measure in the fight against the current pandemic and future viral outbreaks.
