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. Recognition of bacteria, viruses and fungal invaders as ‘foreign’ makes sense, but how does the immune system recognise cancer cells as a threat?

T-cell receptors offer window to the cell for a new class of cancer therapeutics

Drug Target Review

Each T cell expresses a TCR specific for an HLA‑presented peptide signal, and when that signal is detected a T cell expressing the relevant TCR can launch a complex array of immune effector responses that can suppress or destroy tumours or virus-infected cells. Many potential candidate antigens are under consideration.

Unleashing the potential of lab-grown recombinant polyclonal antibodies

Drug Target Review

GigaGen’s single-cell recombinant technology enables the selection and replication of a highly specific and diverse antibody response, which can also be modified to create therapeutics that are more potent than those provided by a natural immune response.

Clover Biopharmaceuticals Announces Positive Phase 1 Data for its Adjuvanted S-Trimer COVID-19 Vaccine Candidates

The Pharma Data

Strong Th1 cell-mediated immune responses were also observed for the vaccine candidates with either adjuvant. Based on the positive Phase 1 results reported and the unprecedented need for COVID-19 vaccines, Clover and its partners are confident to enter late-stage clinical development for both adjuvanted vaccines.
