Biocare Medical, LLC is pleased to announce a sampling program for p63 antibody for clinical and research laboratories. Biocare Medical is currently one of only two companies worldwide with rights to sell p63 antibodies for IVD testing purposes. Both predilute and concentrated antibodies are available.
Biocare announced the favorable resolution of a challenge to its non-exclusive worldwide license for p63 antibodies in 2008. The United States District Court’s ruling in favor of Biocare reinforced and confirmed its right to “make, use or sell” IVD p63 antibodies, which makes use of discoveries made at Harvard University and covered under United States patent nos. 6,946,256 and 7,030,227. A subsequent appeal of that ruling was unsuccessful and did not alter Biocare’s license agreement with Harvard. Moreover, customers should ignore any press releases by competitors that announce an “exclusive” license or distributorship agreement for p63 as they are untrue.
p63 is also featured in several of Biocare’s novel multiplex IHC products. PIN-4™, ADH-5™, Lung Adeno-2™ and Lung Sqamous-2™ help to differentiate: five phenotypes of breast cancer; PIN vs. prostate cancer vs. benign disease; and lung adeno- vs. squamous cell carcinoma.
