All three of the studies Verma mentioned involved antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), a treatment modality that’s now about a decade old but still ripe for innovation. “An An antibody-drug conjugate is where you connect and link a chemotherapy to an antibody,” Verma said. The Trojan horse.
Over the years, the drug hunters have tried to target the tens of thousands of proteins responsible for sickness and health. In this article, we will evaluate the rising popularity of the concept of targeted protein degradation in overcoming the aforementioned challenges. What is Targeted Protein Degradation?
The patent battle between Amgen and Sanofi over their cholesterol-lowering antibodies has divided big pharma in the past months. Both drugs are monoclonal antibodies that inhibit the protein PCSK9. Amgen won the initial trial in March 2016 and Sanofi faced a potential withdrawal of Praluent from the US market.
Proteins are the chains of amino acids linked together in different combinations and perform a wide variety of functions. However, continuous regulation of the cellular proteome is essential for maintaining the right balance of different proteins necessary for normal cellular function, survival, and proliferation.
This disease is associated with antibodies directed against the acetylcholine receptor, muscle-specific kinase (MUSK), lipoprotein-related protein 4 (LRP4), or agrin in the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction. The latter are Anti-Acetylcholine Receptor (AChR) antibody-positive. Soliris (Eculizumab).

Novel antibody therapies are chimeric proteins having antibodies attached lethal effector molecules. Multiple novel antibody formats have been engineered to enhance therapeutic efficacy. The market is currently characterized by well-established firms.
Nuvaxovid is a protein-based vaccine created from the genetic sequence of the initial SARS-CoV-2 virus strain. The expanded manufacturing and marketing approval was based on the data obtained from the Phase II trial, conducted in Australia and the US; a separate Phase II trial held in South Africa; and the UK-sponsored COV-BOOST trial.
Antibodies are key components of the immune system that bind to specific markers on cells or tissues, thereby offering first line of defense against multiple disorders. The novel antibody therapies include different classes of antibodies, that are responsible for killing or inhibiting disease-causing agents.
