Predicting Adverse Reactions to Monoclonal Antibody Drugs

addgene Blog

Antibodies administered as drugs are still immunogenic, meaning that they elicit an immune response from the body. Several factors contribute to the immunogenicity of a drug including the product origin; purity, mechanism, and stability; and sequence of biologic product, mode of administration, and dose (Lu et.al.,

Mechanistic Model Describing the Time Course of Humoral Immunity Following Ad26.COV2.S Vaccination in Non-Human Primates [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

Mechanistic modeling can be used to describe the time course of vaccine-induced humoral immunity and to identify key biological drivers in antibody production. We utilized a six-compartment mechanistic model to describe a 20-week time course of humoral immune responses in 56 non-human primates (NHPs) elicited by vaccination with Ad26.COV2.S

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. 2023.09.011 ).
