Immune reactions identified that may cause antibody development in hemophilia A cases

Medical Xpress

Patients usually receive FVIII that comes from donor blood or is produced using genetic engineering. However, about one third of those treated for severe hemophilia A develop antibodies (inhibitors) against FVIII.

Using bispecific antibodies to advance cancer immunotherapy

pharmaphorum

Dr Laura Moriarty, senior marketing manager at Bio-Rad, looks at the impressive immuno-therapeutic potential of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs). Though their bispecific nature complicates large-scale production and purification workflows, with challenges such as antibody chain mispairing, bsAbs have come a long way since first developed.

Taconic Biosciences Expands Immuno-oncology Animal Model PortfolioCritical Jh Syngeneic Tumor Model Host Now Available on a B6 Background

The Pharma Data

These models are engrafted with mouse tumors derived from the same strain background; this genetic similarity between tumor and host prevents the host from rejecting the tumor. Standard mice may develop anti-drug antibodies (ADA), which can neutralize the therapeutic or even trigger anaphylaxis.

Novavax Announces Agreement with Government of New Zealand for 10.7 Million Doses of COVID-19 VaccineAdvance purchase agreement signed for NVX-CoV2373, Novavax’ adjuvanted protein vaccine candidate

The Pharma Data

NVX-CoV2373 is a protein-based vaccine candidate engineered from the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. In preclinical studies, NVX-CoV2373 induced antibodies that block binding of spike protein to cellular receptors and provided protection from infection and disease. About NVX-CoV2373.
