Drug Target Review

During the process of transformation from a normal cell into a cancer cell, a cell acquires a series of changes, or mutations, in its DNA. But DNA mutations can also result in changes to the proteins that are displayed on the surface of the cancer cell. Neoantigens are recognised as non-self and trigger an immune response.

Using a technique they’ve dubbed ‘cancer shredding’, the researchers at Gladstone Institutes, California, programmed CRISPR to zero-in on repeating DNA sequences present only in recurrent tumour cells – and then obliterate those cells by snipping away at them.

We pointed out last week that China was a notable missing element in AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine strategy, despite being the drugmaker’s second-largest market. The pair will also explore the possibility of producing the vaccine for other markets. The vaccine was moved into phase 2/3 in May. That has changed.

Early interim data show Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-negative kidney transplant recipients vaccinated with three doses of HB-101 had reduced incidence of CMV viremia, reduced antiviral use and no CMV disease. Observed CMV-neutralizing antibody responses and tolerability profile are consistent with previous interim results.

Unlike almost every other cell type (except B cells), T cells do not have the exact same chromosomal DNA sequences as other cells in the body. To be therapeutically useful, antigenic peptides must be presented in a way that allows immune responses to destroy cancer cells without causing unacceptable damage to healthy tissue.
