Novel antibodies target ‘dark side’ of influenza virus protein

Drug Discovery World

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have identified antibodies targeting a hard-to-spot region of the influenza virus, shedding light on the relatively unexplored ‘dark side’ of the neuraminidase (NA) protein head.

A protein-based COVID-19 vaccine that mimics the shape of the virus

The Pharma Data

Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have immunized mice with nanoparticles that mimic SARS-CoV-2 by displaying multiple copies of the receptor binding domain (RBD) antigen, showing that the vaccine triggers robust antibody and T cell responses. Although the first vaccines to receive Emergency Use Authorization by the U.S.

Roche launches new quantitative antibody test to measure SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, to support the evaluation of vaccines

The Pharma Data

The new Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S test can quantitatively measure the level of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in patients who have been exposed to the virus. The test targets antibodies against the spike protein. The majority of current candidate vaccines aim to induce an antibody response against the spike protein. “As
