Scientists identify antibodies that can neutralize omicron

Scienmag

An international team of scientists have identified antibodies that neutralize omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants. These antibodies target areas of the virus spike protein that remain essentially unchanged as the viruses mutate.

China’s NMPA clears Transcenta’s IND for solid tumour treatment

Pharmaceutical Technology

TST003 is a first-in-class Gremlin1 targeting humanised monoclonal antibody. In the syngeneic tumour model, the monoclonal antibody has also improved the checkpoint inhibitor’s anti-tumour activity. The Gremlin1 protein was found to promote lineage plasticity while driving castration resistance in prostate cancer.

Even as SARS-CoV-2 mutates, some human antibodies fight back

Medical Xpress

In a new investigation, scientists from La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have shown how antibodies, collected from this clinical study volunteer, bind to the SARS-CoV-2 "Spike" protein to neutralize the virus.

Study details changes in omicron’s spike protein

Scienmag

An international team of scientists has determined the precise structural changes in the spike protein of the omicron variant. Their observations explain how the virus is able to evade antibodies against previous variants and still remain highly infectious.

ExeVir ready for clinic with variant-targeting llama antibody

pharmaphorum

Last year, Belgium’s ExeVir Bio raised 23 million euros ($27 million) to finance development of llama antibodies – and now it is ready to begin clinical development of a potential treatment that could be effective against emerging COVID-19 variants. ExeVir is not the first company to spin out of VIB to focus on camelid antibodies.

COVID-19: Some ignored facts

World of DTC Marketing

Based on the virus a number of vaccines targeting the spike protein were designed, tested in animal models and found to be quite promising against SARS and other coronavirus illnesses like Middle East respiratory syndrome. Antibody tests indicate you had a previous infection and that you may have some level of protection against the virus.
