Leukocare AG, a biotechnology company specialized in the field of biopharmaceutical formulation development, announced today that the company was granted US patent 11,060,068, which substantially strengthens Leukocare’s intellectual property on virus formulations in the United States. The US patent office grants the application for a method of stabilizing viruses or bacteria in liquid, sugar-free formulations comprising three amino acids from at least three different groups.

Michael Scholl, CEO of Leukocare, said, "We are delighted that the US patent office granted this application. It clearly positions Leukocare as the global leader in biopharmaceutical formulation development, especially in the area of liquid virus formulations. This patent grant demonstrates yet again that Leukocare provides excellent formulation development technologies based on vast scientific expertise in combination with best-in-class virus analytics.
