Serina Therapeutics To Present At The 3Rd Annual LNP Immunogenicity & Toxicity Summit

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) HUNTSVILLE, AL, Dec. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serina Therapeutics, Inc. (“Serina”) (NYSE American: SER), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing its proprietary POZ PlatformTM drug delivery technology, announced that Serina Therapeutics' Chief Development Officer, Randall Moreadith, MD, PhD, will be presenting today at the 3rd Annual LNP Immunogenicity & Toxicity Summit in Boston, MA. Entitled "Overcoming Anti-PEG Antibody Responses – A novel PEOZ-lipid That Fails to Elicit an Immune Response to the Polymer-lipid in mRNA-LNP Formulations."

Dr. Moreadith will present data on the immunological profile of Serina's proprietary POZ-lipid, a next-generation polymer in development to improve lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations. The study demonstrated that POZ-lipid did not induce IgM or IgG antibody responses following repeated administration in an animal model. In contrast, standard PEG-lipids commonly utilized in current LNP technologies elicited robust and sustained IgM and IgG responses. Such anti-PEG antibody responses have been implicated in hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and other serious adverse events, in recipients of mRNA-based vaccines (e.g., Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna). The absence of an IgM or IgG response to Serina's POZ-lipid is a notable observation that suggests its potential to enable the development of safer and more immunologically compatible LNP formulations.
