MARTINSRIED, Germany, Nov. 18, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MorphoSys AG (Frankfurt:MOR.F - News) (Prime Standard Segment, TecDAX) and Wacker Chemie AG are intensifying their cooperation in the use of WACKER’s prokaryotic secretion technology. The two companies have signed a new agreement precisely defining areas of use and production limits under which MorphoSys will continue to use the secretion system on a research scale. As a result, MorphoSys will now be able to use the WACKER technology for both the early development phase of therapeutic projects as well as the production of diagnostic and research antibodies. If the agreed quantity limits are exceeded at MorphoSys, WACKER is able to provide a seamless transition to large-scale manufacturing services.
