Sanofi’s Qfitlia Gets FDA Approval as First siRNA Therapy for Hemophilia

XTalks

In hemophilia patients, inhibitors are antibodies that interfere with the effectiveness of clotting factor replacement therapies. Through RNA silencing, it targets the expression of antithrombin, a protein that inhibits blood clotting. The ATLAS-INH trial enrolled 77 patients with inhibitory antibodies to FVIII or FIX.

Receptor Occupancy Assays by Flow Cytometry: Benefits for Clinical Trials

XTalks

Generally, antibody-based therapeutics are one of the main types of drugs that are assessed using receptor occupancy assays as they bind to specific cell surface receptors through which they impact downstream intracellular signalling pathways. The antibodies are conjugated to fluorochromes for them to be detected.

What Challenges Is the Vaccine Industry Facing When Dealing with the Flu and COVID-19?

XTalks

The Flu versus COVID-19: Virology and Vaccines SARS-CoV-2 versus Influenza Virology Viruses contain genetic material that can either be RNA or DNA. Both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 have RNA as their genetic material. An RNA genome enables the genetic material to mutate more rapidly. For COVID, it is much the same case.
