Leading innovators in anti-influenza antibody compositions for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

In the last three years alone, there have been over 633,000 patents filed and granted in the pharmaceutical industry, according to GlobalData’s report on Innovation in Pharmaceuticals: Anti-influenza antibody compositions. However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend.

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. According to the study, patients had auto-antibodies against IFN-? (13 We said, ‘bingo!’”

HIV vaccines suffer setbacks but new approaches could turn the tide

Pharmaceutical Technology

Since HIV integrates with the DNA, eliminating the virus from the body is very difficult, explains David Montefiori, PhD, director of the Laboratory for AIDS Vaccine Research and Development at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. mRNA vaccines can be made and modified quickly compared to protein subunit vaccines, says Montefiore.

Leading innovators in transcription factors for AAV for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

Within the emerging innovation stage, cell therapy for ocular disorders, coronavirus vaccine components, and DNA polymerase compositions are disruptive technologies that are in the early stages of application and should be tracked closely. There are two main genes in the AAV genome, rep and cap, which encode nine different proteins.

Covid-19 induced immune response may damage brain, NINDS study finds

Pharmaceutical Technology

The researchers found evidence that antibodies are linked to an attack on the cells lining the blood vessels in the brain, causing inflammation and damage. The researchers also observed that antibodies produced in response to Covid-19 may wrongly act on cells vital to the blood-brain barrier.
