One coronavirus vaccine may protect against other coronaviruse

The Pharma Data

Northwestern Medicine scientists have shown for the first time that coronavirus vaccines and prior coronavirus infections can provide broad immunity against other, similar coronaviruses. The findings build a rationale for universal coronavirus vaccines that could prove useful in the face of future epidemics.

Antibody-drug conjugates payloads: then, now and next

Drug Target Review

10 Proteasome inhibitors Since the approval of Bortezomib in 2003, 11 new proteasome inhibitors have emerged with reduced side effects. More recently, researchers have begun to look at conjugating immunomodulatory agents to antibodies to directly activate an immune response against the tumour.

Defense-Forward Biosecurity

Codon

For example, many different filoviruses attack white blood cells and cause similar innate immune responses , which makes it difficult to identify a particular species from only their DNA. In 2003, the DHS launched the BioWatch program after five people died and twenty fell ill from touching envelopes laced with anthrax spores.
