Not all neoantigens are created equal

Drug Target Review

These neoantigens are identified by T cells of the immune system as foreign proteins and thus trigger an immune response. Recent advances in bioinformatics show clonal neoantigens are the best targets for immunotherapy, as I will elucidate below. Neoantigens are recognised as non-self and trigger an immune response.

The first major set of genetic associations found in long COVID

Drug Target Review

The genes unique to the severe long COVID patients were found to be associated with immune pathways such as myeloid differentiation, macrophage foam cells and lipid signalling pathways. The article mentions that TLR4 antagonists have been identified as potential candidates for repurposing long COVID treatment.

Can Global Genomic Surveillance Forecast the Next Pandemic?

PLOS: DNA Science

Other genomic databases were retooled for the huge datasets that COVID was generating, such as the Cloud Institute for Microbial Bioinformatics, begun in 2014 and rechristened the COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium ( COG-UK ). • identifies parts of the virus to target to provoke an immune response from a vaccine.

Codon Digest: GPT-4 Controls a Robot

Codon

Skin microbes can trigger strong immune responses. These microbes were engineered to express tumor antigens that could “elicit T cells that were licensed by the commensal immune program but specific for a tumor,” including both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, according to the study.
