Targeting the immunotherapy potential of cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 with new advancements in protein engineering

Drug Target Review

Delivery of therapy is being evaluated through injections of DNA and RNA encoding IL-12, viral vectors, and other exploratory platforms designed to bring IL-12 in close proximity to the tumour and avoid excessive IL-12 in systemic circulation. Ultimately, our goal is for this approach to yield an enhanced cancer fighting response.

New Drug Approvals

CDK7 also plays a role in transcription and possibly in DNA repair. The trimeric Cak complex CDK7/CyclinH/MATl is also a component of TFIIH, the general transcription/DNA repair factor IIH (Morgan, DO., As a TFIIH subunit, CDK7 phosphorylates the CTD (Carboxy-Terminal-Domain) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (pol II).
