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.

Leading innovators in flavivirus vaccine components

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. The structural proteins include the capsid, pre-membrane/membrane proteins and envelope (E) proteins.

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

pharmaphorum

Through base editing, drugs replace single nucleotide in the DNA strand with another, without making double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the gene. However, they can lead to unwanted effects such as insertions, deletions, or other DNA rearrangements at the site of the break which raises the risk of side effects.

Covid-19 vaccine success bolsters nanoparticle drug delivery research

Pharmaceutical Technology

Since then, the field of nanomedicine has steadily progressed to reach high points such as the successful use of nanotechnology to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA)-based Covid-19 vaccines. This design protects antibodies from the innate immune system. And the issue is that antibodies are too big to go directly inside the cell,” he says.

What Innovative Treatments For Metastatic Breast Cancer are being developed?

Find Me Cure

There are antibody drugs targetting those cells that are already FDA approved and there are antibody drugs still in trials. However, a combination of HER2-targeted antibody drugs and a chemotherapy drug can prove to be more potent. An enzyme involved in DNA repair can be the key to making chemotherapy more effective.

Roche to launch SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test in countries accepting CE mark, allowing fast triage decisions at point of care

The Pharma Data

with whom Roche has a global distribution agreement and had also launched a Rapid Antibody Test in July. If the target antigen is present in sufficient concentrations in the sample, it will bind to specific antibodies and generate a visually detectable signal on the test strip, typically with results ready in 15 minutes.

Johnson & Johnson’s One-Dose COVID Vaccine Promising in Early Trial

The Pharma Data

” The Johnson & Johnson vaccine also would be hardier than either of the already approved vaccines because it relies on DNA technology rather than messenger RNA to prompt an immune system response. A second dose of the vaccine more than doubled the amounts of neutralizing antibodies, the results showed.
