The Long Road to End Tuberculosis

Codon

Even after microbiologists discovered the bacterium that causes the illness in 1882, it wasn’t until the 1920s that researchers were able to develop a vaccine for TB. These breakthroughs have significantly curbed cases, with vaccination reducing the odds of death by 74 percent. tuberculosis , to develop the vaccine.

Delaying second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine produces stronger immune response

The Pharma Data

The first peer-reviewed study in North America examining the timing between the first and second doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines shows that a longer dose interval leads to a stronger immune response. The study is funded by the Government of Canada through its COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF).

Unleashing the potential of lab-grown recombinant polyclonal antibodies

Drug Target Review

While current polyclonal antibody (pAb) therapies are derived from plasma, GigaGen has developed single-cell discovery and development platforms to produce diverse and potent recombinant pAb therapies that are made in the laboratory. Both recombinant pAbs and plasma-derived antibody therapies can start with donors who are strong responders.
