About MOSPD2
MOSPD2 is a novel tumor-related target identified by VBL that may be used as a marker for selective targeting of several types of tumors. Research conducted by VBL has shown that MOSPD2 is a novel membrane protein found on tumor cells that is present when they start invading tissues or creating metastatic lesions.  The Company believes that targeting of MOSPD2 may have several therapeutic applications, including inhibition of tumor cell metastases and targeting of MOSPD2-positive tumor cells. There are also potential applications in the inhibition of monocyte migration in chronic inflammatory conditions. VBL is developing the VB-600 series of pipeline candidates towards these applications.
