Annexin and related peptides
Unigene's collaborators at Queen Mary College have developed proprietary information related to the natural protein annexin and smaller peptide fragments of annexin that may be developed as a part of the treatment modalities for strokes and heart attacks. Animal experiments have shown that these peptides are extremely effective at preventing the damage that occurs to blood vessels or the heart following removal of the blockage and reperfusion of the blood flow to the blocked areas. Treatment with the peptides may markedly improve the clinical outcome to the patient following reperfusion.
