Using bispecific antibodies to advance cancer immunotherapy

pharmaphorum

Dr Laura Moriarty, senior marketing manager at Bio-Rad, looks at the impressive immuno-therapeutic potential of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs). Though their bispecific nature complicates large-scale production and purification workflows, with challenges such as antibody chain mispairing, bsAbs have come a long way since first developed.

To mitigate these risks, clinicians are turning to other immunomodulators, such as cell-based therapies, bispecific antibodies, and cytokine treatments. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like pembrolizumab (Keytruda) have numerous benefits and have become a standard of treatment for many patients. Jespersen et al.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. This continues to be the standard of care.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

Coding RNAs include messenger RNA (mRNA) and short interfering RNA (siRNA), which encode proteins and silence gene expression, respectively. In the last few years, researchers have become interested in using in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA as a drug delivery agent.
