ProBioGen, Emergent BioSolutions Partner in Vaccine Manufacturing

ProBioGen signs agreement with Emergent BioSolutions for access to ProBioGen's avian AGE1.CR cell line.

ProBioGen has formed an agreement with Emergent BioSolutions for a non-exclusive commercial multiproduct license and option agreement under which Emergent will be granted broad access to ProBioGen’s avian AGE1.CR cell line. Previously, ProBioGen had granted an exclusive license to Emergent for four indications and also conducted process development work for Emergent.  As a result of the new agreement, ProBioGen’s relationship with Emergent is now extended to include additional infectious disease targets, with the option to expand to numerous further indications. The commercial licenses include milestones and royalty payments. Financial details were not disclosed.
