Scientists analyze structure of antibodies that could be key to more effective cancer treatments

Scienmag

Researchers at the University of Southampton have gained unprecedented new insight into the key properties of an antibody needed to fight off cancer. The interdisciplinary study, published in Science Immunology, revealed how changing the flexibility of the antibody could stimulate a stronger immune response.

Altimmune begins trial of nasal vaccine for COVID-19

pharmaphorum

A nasal delivery method will also produce an immune response at the point where the virus enters the body. The company announced a phase 1 trial is beginning of its nasal spray vaccine just as scientists in the UK said they are considering a similar approach.

J&J single-shot COVID-19 vaccine shows early promise

pharmaphorum

In order to make the best use of scarce vaccine resources the UK has opted to extend the time between doses to up to 12 weeks, a strategy that has been criticised by some scientists who are fearful that it could cause vaccine-tolerant strains of the virus to emerge.

Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV.

Delaying second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine produces stronger immune response

The Pharma Data

The first peer-reviewed study in North America examining the timing between the first and second doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines shows that a longer dose interval leads to a stronger immune response. The study is funded by the Government of Canada through its COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF).
