The Long Road to End Tuberculosis

Codon

Fortunately, some novel preventatives and therapies are in the works, including a vaccine equipped with adjuvants that efficiently prime the immune system and newer antibiotics against which the bacteria have yet to evolve resistance. tuberculosis , the same immune cells cross-react with the pathogen.

Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.

The Vaccine Development Landscape and Its Associated Challenges

DrugBank

Adjuvants are substances added to vaccines to enhance the immune response. They work by decreasing the solubility of the vaccine, which sustains the release of the drug and prolongs the immune response. Even after a vaccine is approved and distributed, the pharmaceutical industry's responsibility does not end.

COVID19: Serology is harder than it looks

DrugBaron

This gives a clear indication of current (or very recent) infection, but it tells us nothing about the cumulative number of people exposed, nor the degree or nature of their immune response to the virus. The solution is a test for the immune response to the virus (often called a “serology test”).

A research team searches for every gene that helps tumors evade immunotherapy

Broad Institute

He also read everything he could about her disease, including emerging evidence that suggested that the immune system could recognize and kill Merkel cell carcinoma. His mother had a presentation of the disease that suggested her immune system was already on the job.

4-1BB and the critical importance of local control

SugarCone Biotech

Targeting 4-1BB remained of interest to the immuno-oncology field as cell culture experiments and tumor models in mice suggested that robust anti-tumor immune responses could be triggered by anti-4-1BB antibody therapies. This is the T cell type most closely associated with anti-tumor immune responses.

Vaxzevria induced immunity for at least one year following a single dose and strong immune responses following either a late second dose or a third dose

The Pharma Data

A sub-analysis from the Oxford-led COV001 and COV002 trials with Vaxzevria induced strong immune responses following either a prolonged second dose interval of up to 45 weeks or following a third boosting dose. Suspected cases presenting with compatible symptoms were tested for virological confirmation by COVID-19 PCR.
