Research Roundup: Different Antibody Responses to COVID-19 and More

The Pharma Data

Antibodies Respond Differently to Severe Versus Mild COVID-19. Researchers at Stanford Medicine found that COVID-19 antibodies preferentially target different parts of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in mild COVID-19 cases than they do in severe cases. People with severe COVID-19 have low proportions of antibodies that target the spike protein.

World AIDS Day 2023: New and Promising Treatments for HIV/AIDS

XTalks

These dual gRNAs target three specific sites within the HIV genome, facilitating the removal of substantial portions of the viral DNA and minimizing the potential for viral escape. The noteworthy candidate, EBT-101, is designed to eliminate HIV proviral DNA using CRISPR-Cas9 along with two guide RNAs (gRNAs).

Reconfiguring COVID and influenza vaccines for long-term effectiveness

pharmaphorum

When exposed to a virus, one’s immune system develops antibodies in response to foreign antigens, with or without a vaccine. However, a vaccine trains the immune system to recognise that familiar virus and kill it more rapidly. One arm of the immune system triggers antibodies, and the other triggers T-cells.
