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.

The immune system’s role in lung cancer risk

Drug Target Review

HLA are the critical molecules that our immune systems use to present peptides to T cells and facilitate recognition and killing in immune responses to pathogens. HLA-II presents peptides to CD4 T cells thought to be important for indirectly helping immune responses and facilitating antibody production.

Designing a Better Probiotic. CRISPR Hubris?

PLOS: DNA Science

The molecular tools of CRISPR were borrowed and developed from the natural immune response of bacteria to viruses – bacteriophages – that infect them. Beef production Add a gene conferring a short, slick coat that enables cattle to tolerate heat. But will it, can it, improve upon nature?

Pfizer and BioNTech Announce Data Demonstrating High Immune Response Following a Booster Dose of their COVID-19 Vaccine in Children 5 Through 11 Years of Age

The Pharma Data

These data reinforce the potential function of a third dose of the vaccine in maintaining high levels of protection against the virus in this age group. The neutralizing GMT against the wild-type virus was 2153 (after three doses), compared to 335 after two doses.

mRNA Therapeutics: Revolutionizing Treatment Beyond Vaccines

DrugBank

Once delivered into the body, the mRNA instructs cells to produce these antigens, which are then presented to the immune system. This process triggers a robust immune response, enabling the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Another challenge is the potential for unintended immune responses.
