About Actinobac Biomed, Inc.
Actinobac is a biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for multiple indications, including blood cancers, autoimmune/inflammatory diseases and HIV. Drug candidates are based on Leukothera®, a natural protein that targets and eliminates white blood cells (WBCs) involved in the mechanism of many diseases. Leukothera® functions by depleting and preventing migration of the activated immune cells involved in diseases of white blood cells. The cellular receptor for Leukothera™ is lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1). Since LFA-1 is expressed only on WBCs, other cells and tissues of the body are not affected.
