The South African coronavirus variant may cut the effectiveness of Pfizer/BioNTech’s vaccine by around two thirds, according to a laboratory study. Mutations may alter neutralisation by affecting spike function rather than antigen response and its also unclear from this study how the T-cell response is affected.

IO agents include the classes of immune checkpoint modulators, cell therapies, bispecific antibodies, oncolytic viruses, therapeutic vaccines, and cytokines. All currently approved CAR-Ts are autologous, with the patient’s T-cells being genetically engineered to target antigens expressed by the cancerous cells.

A laboratory study suggests Pfizer and BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine Comirnaty could be effective against a Brazilian variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus – known as P.1 1 could evade the immune response generated from a prior infection in between 25% and 61% of cases, and that has made containing the variant a priority for health authorities.

Immunotherapies have become more popular due to their ability to trigger and train the patient’s immune system to recognise and attack tumour cells, provide strong immune responses, and reduce the severity of adverse side effects generally associated with chemotherapies.

Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. A healthy immune system is naturally primed to eliminate malignant and abnormal cells through a synchronised and dynamic interplay between adaptive and innate immunity.
