Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a major threat to public health in the industrialised world, particularly in Europe. In many EU countries C. difficile now eclipses Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) with hospital acquired infection mortality exceeding that of MRSA by a factor of four. C. difficile is resistant to a wide range of antibiotics with hypervirulent and multiple drug resista ...

EUROpean consortium for antiCALINs as next generation high-affinity protein therapeutics (EUROCALIN)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The consortium aims to develop and produce an Anticalin, a member of a novel high-affinity scaffold derived from the lipocalin protein family. The Anticalin is specific for hepcidin which is a central regulator of iron homeostasis, and will be used to antagonize hepcidin for the treatment of “anemia of chronic disease” (ACD). Anticalins are genetically modified lipocalins that can target almost an ...
