Nodality, Inc. Launches Pathpro T Cell Receptor (TCR) And B Cell Receptor (BCR) Panels For Assessing Drug Impact On Functional Signaling In Primary Human Cells

Six PathPro™ Products Currently Available to Enhance Drug Development, Including PathPro™ JAK-STAT, PathPro™ TLR and PathPro™ AML Panels, as well as the Recently Introduced PathPro™ CLL Panel

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nodality, Inc. announced today the availability of its new PathPro™ T Cell Receptor (TCR) and B Cell Receptor (BCR) panels. These panels provide unique insights into disease and the impact of a compound or drug on BCR or TCR signaling in primary human cells. Each is designed to characterize cell signaling pathways at the single cell level for broad application in multiple therapeutic areas including autoimmune disease and cancer immunotherapy. Earlier this year, Nodality introduced its first PathPro products, which leverage the unique capabilities of Nodality’s proprietary multiparametric flow cytometry platform to study the functional activity of customer therapeutics. In addition to the PathPro TCR and BCR panels, Nodality has launched PathPro JAK-STAT, PathPro TLR, PathPro AML, and PathPro CLL panels, all focused on solving drug development challenges.

“Our TCR and BCR panels provide a robust way to analyze single cell signaling in a human translational model, targeting a spectrum of key immune signaling pathways critical to understanding drug function.”

“We are excited to further expand our PathPro™ product offerings, providing an increasingly comprehensive suite of products that can serve diverse needs in drug development,” said Laura Brege, CEO and President of Nodality, Inc. “Our TCR and BCR panels provide a robust way to analyze single cell signaling in a human translational model, targeting a spectrum of key immune signaling pathways critical to understanding drug function.”

Nodality’s PathPro products are based on the Company’s broad knowledge and experience in diverse signaling pathways and in interrogating signaling at the single cell level in numerous cell types including rare cell subtypes. For each PathPro product, customers are able to select modulators, pathways, cell types and donor sample types to be interrogated in targeted, small-scale studies. The results provide critical insights into the functional impact of drugs and drug candidates in disease sub-groups, while also identifying differential in vitro activities, pathway-specific profiles and/or disease profiles, and informing on mechanism of action (MOA), efficacy and comparison of compound activities.

• PathPro™ T Cell Receptor (TCR) panel

  Nodality’s PathPro T Cell Receptor (TCR) panel enables simultaneous quantitative measurement of signaling and compound activity in many cell types in the context of TCR signaling. A wide range of drugs, both approved and in development, specifically target T cells in order to manipulate the immune system to fight cancer, resolve infections and improve the health of patients suffering from autoimmune diseases. Nodality’s quantitative PathPro TCR assay measures the activation of downstream effector molecules resulting from TCR engagement, both proximal to the TCR (e.g. p-ZAP-70, p-CD247) and more distal in the pathway (e.g. p-ERK, IkBa). This provides an opportunity to interrogate specific and differential effects of compounds or antibodies on the capacity of T cell subset activation from healthy donors and patients.

• PathPro™ B Cell Receptor (BCR) panel

  Nodality’s PathPro BCR panel leverages the unique capabilities of SCNP by enabling simultaneous quantitative measurement of signaling and compound activity in many cell types in the context of BCR signaling. Nodality’s quantitative PathPro BCR assay measures the activation of downstream effector molecules resulting from BCR engagement, both proximal to the BCR (e.g. p-ZAP70, p-PLCg2) and more distal in the signaling pathway (e.g. p-ERK, IkBa), providing an opportunity to interrogate specific and differential effects of compounds or antibodies on the capacity of B cell subset activation from healthy donors and patients.
