Shares of BiondVax Pharmaceuticals rose more than 30% in premarket trading Monday after the biotechnology company said it had signed a license agreement for the development and commercialization of an antibody targeting cytokine interleukin-17 for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
BiondVax shares were recently up at $2.26 in premarket trading. The stock closed Friday at $1.70, down about 43% for the year to date.
The Jerusalem-based company said the agreement, part of its collaboration with the Max Planck Society and the University Medical Center Gottingen, covers the antibody in all potential indications, starting with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
