Technology overview

QUIET®

Hypoimmune cell design

Built on HELIX®, QUIET® develops cell therapies with lower immunogenicity to address rejection of donor cells.

Designing cells to reduce immune rejection

Allogeneic cell therapies use donor cells. A recipient’s immune system can recognize and reject them. QUIET® applies Qihan’s genome editing platform to develop cells intended to provoke a weaker immune response.

Full platform nameQUiescent Immune Evasion Technology

  • Reducing immunogenicity

    QUIET® studies how genetic edits affect the likelihood that the immune system will recognize and reject donor cells.

  • Evaluating designs in stages

    Qihan evaluates candidate designs in cell-based and animal models before taking selected designs into clinical evaluation.

  • Protecting the underlying designs

    Qihan reports a patent portfolio covering its underlying editing strategies in major global markets.

Research & development

From preclinical testing to clinical evaluation

Qihan reports that certain edits or combinations improved hypoimmunity in clinical evaluation. The company has incorporated some of these designs into clinical-stage products.

Preclinical validation stages: cells, mice and nonhuman primates
