Inducing Immune Tolerance in Autoimmunity, Gene Therapy, and Beyond: The ImmTOR® Platform, from Selecta Biosciences

There’s no point in receiving a gift you can’t keep, be it a pony, or a therapeutic. For the latter to be effective it must be retained, yet the immune system can’t discriminate between friend or foe; there is only you, and not you, and not you is simply not tolerated. Enter ImmTOR®, a nanoparticle technology that aims to tolerize the immune system to the target of choice – a gene therapy, a biologic, or in cases of autoimmunity – you. With buy-ins from the likes of Takeda, Sarepta, Sobi and AskBio, it’s worth it to find out more about Selecta Biosciences.
