The liquid portion of the blood (serum or plasma) containing antibodies is separated and tested using the Liason Biotrin parvovirus B19 IgG plus test on a Liason XL analyzer. If parvovirus B19 antibodies are present, they bind to the chemicals and particular particles in the test, producing a light signal. Photo courtesy of BD.

Verve starts trials of cholesterol drug in test of base editing technique

pharmaphorum

The first subject has now been given a dose of VERVE-101, in what is thought to be the first test in humans of an experimental CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technique known as base editing. Through base editing, drugs replace single nucleotide in the DNA strand with another, without making double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the gene.

Modernizing cell culture processes for the next wave of genomic medicine

Pharmaceutical Technology

The field of genomic medicine has reached a true turning point. The established method for this process is a triple transfection using three different DNA plasmids. Moving the viral vector field closer to the monoclonal antibody field is really what we see as the way forward.” CEVEC became part of Cytiva in October 2022.

Researchers Discover Genetic Errors and Rogue Antibodies in Cases of Severe COVID-19 Infection

XTalks

The research shows that the activity of the immune messenger type 1 interferon (IFN) protein is diminished, either by genetic mutations or an autoimmune attack by neutralizing antibodies against it, in a subset of COVID-19 patients. These rogue antibodies blocked interferon action and were not present in patients with mild COVID-19 cases.
