2 In response, DNA-damaging agents that could target the entire cell cycle received renewed attention as ADC payloads. More recently, researchers have begun to look at conjugating immunomodulatory agents to antibodies to directly activate an immuneresponse against the tumour. Cancers 11 , 394 (2019). & Ohi, R.)
Can they deliver healing genes without triggering an overactive immuneresponse? The details are disturbingly reminiscent of the famous case of Jesse Gelsinger , who died from a ferocious immuneresponse to experimental gene therapy in September 1999. million DNA bases. Affected children rarely live past infancy.
Many of the links below are to some of the 100+ DNA Science posts that I wrote during the pandemic. ” I’ve long thought that SARS-CoV-2, or an immediate viral predecessor, emerged years before 2019 – at least as far back as 2013. But I think about that time often, and the warning that it sounded.
”
Dr. Stanley Plotkin , Professor Emeritus at The Wistar Institute, said, “INOVIO’s DNA vaccine appeared to be quite safe with few significant reactions but yet induced both antibody and T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2.”

Last week DNA Science covered a setback in a clinical trial of a gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It aims to correct the faulty instructions at the DNA level, straightforward, at least conceptually, because mutations are deletions, of part or all of the gene. That’s not the case for ALS.
Gene-editing methods allow researchers to modify DNA, resulting in alterations in physical characteristics such as eye colour and susceptibility to diseases. To achieve this, scientists utilise various technologies that function similarly to scissors, precisely cutting the DNA at a particular location.
This exclusive interview with Dr Sharon Benzeno, Chief Commercial Officer, Immune Medicine at Adaptive Biotechnologies, unveils some ground-breaking research on T- cell therapy for cancer , which has seen the first TCR-based therapeutic candidate progress to clinical development, offering promising advancements in innovative cancer treatments.
Genome engineering and gene therapies that manipulate DNA sequences in cells have driven a biotechnological revolution over the past decade. 9 In addition, host immuneresponses further add to the complexity of developing cell-specific AAV capsids for clinical applications. Nature reviews Drug discovery 18 , 358-378 (2019).
This includes recipients of a three-million-dollar grant , awarded by the National Science Foundation in 2019, to “design, construct, and safely deploy synthetic mirror cells.” DNA and RNA molecules are also built from exclusively right-handed nucleic acids. 4 As far as we know, right-handed proteins never occur naturally.
Early clinical results showed AstraZeneca’s candidate, AZD1222, triggered both antibody and T-cell immuneresponses. In addition, Inovio previously teamed up with Beijing Advaccine Biotechnology for work on its DNA vaccine candidate, INO-4800. The vaccine was moved into phase 2/3 in May.
Nasdaq: INO), a biotechnology company focused on bringing to market precisely designed DNA medicines to treat and protect people from infectious diseases, including COVID-19, cancer and HPV-associated diseases, today announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 17,700,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $8.50
They’ve just finished sequencing the patient’s genome, but they don’t have “DNA sorting” software. billion units of DNA code are transcribed into more than a hundred volumes, each a thousand pages long, in type so small as to be barely legible.” a lower risk of immuneresponses.

(Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the first participant was enrolled in the observational PRECISION study (TNX-C002), to examine the immuneresponses to COVID-19 in healthy volunteers who have recovered from COVID-19 or were asymptomatic.
Compared to placebo, participants vaccinated with three HB-101 doses had:
a 48 percent reduction in CMV viremia (presence of CMV DNA in the blood);
a 42 percent reduction in the use of antiviral therapy; and.
HOOKIPA’s viral vectors target antigen presenting cells in vivo to activate the immune system.
Following changes to our leadership team in late 2018 and early 2019, we have sought to transform Lineage into the preeminent allogeneic cell transplant company. Notably, we never modify the DNA of these cells, which avoids some of the safety concerns that have been reported with certain gene-editing technologies.

I remember my sister being held down to get her triple vaccine, then given in two shots in the arms, which DNA Science covered here. Another subset of T cells, called memory cells, enable a rapid immuneresponse should the person encounter the pathogen again.
million people with TB went undetected in 2019, but these estimates are uncertain due to inaccuracies in testing. In 2019, physicians were unable to tailor effective antibiotic regimens for 39 percent of new TB cases because the assessments they relied on could not gauge which antibiotics the strains would be susceptible to.
Uveitis is responsible for an estimated 30,000 new cases of legal blindness annually in the USA. It is believed that this disease is at least in part due to retinal tissue damage caused excessive mitochondrial oxidative stress that triggers a damaging immuneresponse. Scientific Reports (2019) 9:12433). Fugita et al.).
Unfortunately, they can also trigger immuneresponses, and they are not super efficient at gene-editing some parts of the brain. These ribonucleoproteins also caused a lower immuneresponse compared to the viruses, and are much easier to make in the lab. Malaria mortality from 2000 (left) to 2019 (right).
