Progenics: Report Shows Promise For PRO 140 HIV Drug
Dow Jones Newswires
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. -- Progenics Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s (PGNX) HIV inhibitor PRO 140 demonstrated "broad and potent" antiviral activity in preclinical models of HIV infection.
In a press release Tuesday, the biopharmaceutical company said PRO 140, an monoclonal antibody, targets CCR5, a protein that is a co-receptor for HIV entry and infection.
CCR5, which under normal conditions activates certain immune system cells, is found on the surface of cell targeted by HIV.
Progenics agreed to collaborate with Protein Design Labs Inc. (PDLI) to develop a humanized PRO 140 antibody.
Shares of the company recently traded at $15.81, up $1.44 or 10%, on Nasdaq volume of 5,800 shares. Average volume is 67,427 shares.
