The Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) and Advanced Biological Laboratories (ABL) are joining forces to predict immune protection against COVID-19 and support long-term vaccination strategies. To this end, the two laboratories have signed a license agreement and a collaboration agreement to provide two in vitro diagnostic solutions to measure neutralizing antibody levels.
LIH has established a reference viral neutralization assay that measures the activity of neutralizing antibodies against the different SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concerns. This assay, realized in a BSL3 laboratory, is the reference assay to provide neutralization titers and predict immune protection against COVID-19 or disease severity. To rationalize long-term COVID vaccination strategies, LIH has also developed a more accessible surrogate variant neutralisation test, which measures neutralizing antibodies binding reflecting their neutralization activities.
This R&D collaboration proposes to establish a service-based product at LIH with the reference variant neutralization assay and to manufacture the surrogate variant neutralisation test for in vitro testing of the neutralization capacity of antibodies against different SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Seeking an accurate diagnostic solution to predict immune protection
Immunity to SARS-CoV-2 induced by natural infection or vaccination reduces the risk of severe infection and affords a degree of protection against reinfection. “It is now clear that neutralizing serum antibodies contributes mainly to this protective role” says Dr Carole Devaux, head of the HIV-Clinical and Translational Research (HIV-CTR) group. “The effectiveness and the duration of protective immunity is challenged by the spread of highly transmissible viral variants that evade vaccine or monoclonal antibodies protection. It is now critical to propose standardized and sensitive tests to assess SARS-CoV-2 immunity and guide vaccination strategies at the personal level “
At LIH, Dr Danielle Perez Bercoff has set-up the reference viral assay used to predict vaccine efficacy in different clinical trials. However, there are few standardized and accurate serological in vitro tests, to date, able to predict the neutralizing activities of antibodies, and available for the different variants of concern. Dr Eveline Santos da Silva and Dr Danielle Perez Bercoff will be in charge at LIH to optimize the surrogate variant neutralization test for this purpose. The collaboration with ABL aims to make a Prove of Concept of the feasibility of such market and to manufacture the surrogate variant neutralisation test.
Pertinent innovation for the health sector
Chalom Sayada, CEO and founder of ABL, adds: “We have been developing web and software-based diagnostic solutions for healthcare for more than 20 years now. Our focus has been on infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and HPV, where we have built a global customer base. With COVID-19, we expanded our operations with the development and CE IVD registration of robust qPCR and Next Generation Sequencing assays for SARS-CoV-2 detection and variants identification, and now look forward to developing innovation for people with one of Luxembourg’s leading healthcare players.”
Helping to quickly roll out efficient measures
The relevance of the project is also central for LIH: “Such a partnership with ABL is extremely valuable for us. As part of our new strategy, we aim to have an impact that positively affects the lives of the patients and this partnership puts us in a position where we can effectively do that,” adds Ulf Nehrbass, CEO of LIH.
A long time collaboration has been established between the research group HIV-CTR and ABL (SPREAD database, subtyping tool COMET) and new service agreements for SARS-CoV2 diagnostics were started in 2020 to support the R&D of ABL. Together with ABL, the research group speculated that a sensitive viral assay able to quantify the neutralizing titers against most VoCs and a surrogate variant neutralization test would be essential for the clinical management of patients in real-time to help to stratify the patients for the different vaccines, especially towards the outgrow of the VOCs.
The collaboration aims to make a Prove of Concept of the feasibility of such market and to manufacture the surrogate variant neutralisation test.

Acquisition of a controlling stake in Etablissements Fauvet Girel by Advanced Biological Laboratories
ETABLISSEMENTS FAUVET GIREL (the ” Company “) hereby informs its shareholders that STE PARISIENNE DE CONSTRUCTION ET DE LOCATION (SPACLO), holding 91.47% of the Company’s capital, and seven individuals, jointly holding 5.22% of the capital, have entered into a share purchase and sale agreement under the terms of which the transferors have sold their respective shareholdings to ADVANCED BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES S.A. (” ABL SA “)
The sale of all shares held by the sellers, i.e., 242,527 shares out of a total of 250,810 shares, representing 96.69% of the Company’s capital and voting rights, was carried out today for a price of 15.90 euros[1] per share, resulting in a value of €3,986,890for 100% of the shares of ETABLISSEMENTS FAUVET GIREL
In accordance with current regulations, in particular Articles L. 433-3 of the French Monetary and Financial Code and 233-1 2° and 234-2 of the General Regulations of the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), ABL SA will file a proposed public tender offer (the ” Offer “) with the AMF at a price of 15.90 euros per share, for all the shares making up the capital of ETABLISSEMENTS FAUVET GIREL that are not held by ABL SA (i.e., 8,189 shares)[2]. The Offer will be made on behalf of the Initiator by Banque Delubac & Cie.
An independent expert will be appointed by the Company to assess the fairness of the financial terms of the Offer in accordance with current regulations. An ad hoc committee will be set up shortly for the purpose of appointing the independent expert and monitoring the latter’s work in accordance with the provisions of Article 261-1 of the General Regulation.
The Offer will not be followed by a compulsory withdrawal procedure as ABL SA intends to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares for the reasons set out below.
The Company’s proposed development of new activities
The Company is a “shell” that has not been active since 2018. The Company no longer holds any assets other than cash. Its last remaining asset (i.e., a flat in the Paris region) was sold on 29 April 2021[3].
ABL SA wishes to develop new activities in the field of genotype-based diagnosis of infectious diseases within the Company.
Once the Offer has been completed, the shareholders of the Company will be asked to approve the transaction in a general meeting, during which the business of Advanced Biological Laboratories Fedialis, a wholly owned subsidiary of ABL SA (” ABL France “), will be transferred to the Company. The listing of the shares that will result from the transfer transactions on which the Company’s shareholders will be asked to vote in a general meeting will be subject to the approval of a prospectus by the AMF.
The transfer of ABL France to the Company and the resulting change in direction of the Company’s business will also be accompanied by a request for an exemption from the filing of a public buyout offer on the basis of Article 236-6 of the AMF’s general regulations.
ABL France is a limited joint stock company with a capital of €2,100,000, whose registered office is located at 5 boulevard de Trèves, 57070 Metz, registered in the Metz Trade and Companies Register under number 811 018 084. ABL France will be acquired by the Company, which will be renamed ABL Diagnostics.
ABL France (a wholly owned subsidiary of ABL SA) is a company specialising in genotype-based diagnostics for infectious diseases. As a manufacturer, provider of expertise and technical protocols, ABL France develops and markets proprietary genotyping diagnostic kits targeting chronic infectious diseases. ABL France has developed the first high-tech genotyping products for AIDS, viral hepatitis and, more recently, tuberculosis. ABL France also develops products for Covid-19 genotyping.
ABL France’s activities are carried out in the United States through its wholly owned subsidiary, ABL DX USA.
ABL France also plans to develop new research and development (R&D) programmes in the fields of molecular scissors, oncology, and rare diseases of infectious origin. ABL France uses a software solution developed and marketed by ABL SA on a non-exclusive basis for its own diagnostic kits.
With regards to the aforementioned transactions, the Company’s shareholders will therefore be asked to vote on the modification of the Company’s corporate purpose to allow the development of these new activities and the change of the Company’s name (i.e., ABL Diagnostics).
Post operations, the Company may also seek investment and external growth opportunities to promote the dynamics of its core business. In this respect, the acquisition of the Company combined with the above-mentioned operations will therefore considerably increase the development options within a regulatory framework consistent with the business dimension of infectious disease diagnostics, which requires sustainable capital. ABL Diagnostics will thus be able to expand its sources of financing and consider, at a later stage, the modalities for an increase in the free float, which could represent up to 30% of the capital depending on market conditions and investor interest.
Appointment of new directors
At today’s meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company proceeded to co-opt the new members to replace the five members representing the sellers.
The Board of Directors is now composed of the following members, who have been appointed on the basis of their competence in the scientific and medical fields as well as the accounting and financial fields.
It is planned to appoint a sixth director at the next general meeting of the Company called to approve the business transfer operations, with the role being given to:
The biographies of the new Board members can be found on the Company’s website.
In this new form, The Board of Directors decided to separate the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and appointed Mrs Noémie Sadoun, of French nationality, as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Mr Ronan Boulmé, of French nationality, currently Director of Regulatory Affairs of ABL France, as Chief Executive Officer.
Expected timeframe
The public offer operations are being conducted with a view to the Initiator filing the draft Offer as soon as possible and the completion of the Offer, subject to the work of the independent expert and the regulatory deadlines for the examination of the draft Offer, at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022. The Offeror and the Company will make the required disclosures in this regard in accordance with current regulations.
Subject to the above, ABL SA will initiate the transfer of ABL France’s business to the Company after the completion of the Offer, as early as January or February 2022, with a view to completing the business transfer operations during the first half of 2022.
