Ablexis LLC develops next-generation platform for antibody drug discovery. It develops the AlivaMab Mouse, an innovative, next-generation transgenic mouse platform intended to enable the efficient discovery and development of the next generation of human therapeutic antibodies. The company was founded by Green L. Larry and Hiroaki Shizuya in December 2009 and is headquartered in Burlingame, CA.

AlivaMab Discovery Services LLC is a private company that specializes in generating and screening large panels of antibodies to achieve their partners' design goals. AlivaMab Discovery Services is based in San Diego, CA. The company focuses on delivering antibodies that are characterized for function, kinetics, and developability, and engineering for advanced modalities, including multispecifics and cars. The company has experience in antibody drug discovery and development from many of the world's top pharmaceutical companies, including AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, Novartis, Pfizer, and Roche/Genentech. The company was founded by John Lippincott, and the CEO is Larry L. Green.

Cell Genesys is a development-stage biotechnology firm focuses on gene-modification technologies to treat cancer. The company's lead product technology is its GVAX vaccine platform. Cell Genesys is working on GVAX vaccines for lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancer, as well as for leukemia and multiple myeloma, another blood cancer. Its oncolytic viral therapy platform uses specially engineered adenoviruses (such as the common cold) to kill cancer cells; the firm's lead candidate from this platform targets prostate cancer.

Abgenix, Inc. developed therapeutic products. It focused on the discovery, development and manufacturing of therapeutic antibodies. The firm's antibody development platform included manufacturing fully human antibody product candidates to a variety of disease targets. The company was founded by R. Scott Greer in 1996 and was headquartered in Fremont, CA.

Aliva Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. is building the next generation animal systems for accurate prediction in human drug profiling at the pre-clinical stage with its BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) based genome engineering technology. In addition, Aliva's technology platform provides animal models that mimic serious human functional and infectious diseases for assessing effectiveness of new therapeutics prior to selecting a lead compound for Phase I testing. This technology will also be applicable for assessing the drug response of people with small genetic differences, which would allow matching drug candidates with appropriate patient populations.
