Researchers Discover Genetic Errors and Rogue Antibodies in Cases of Severe COVID-19 Infection

XTalks

The research shows that the activity of the immune messenger type 1 interferon (IFN) protein is diminished, either by genetic mutations or an autoimmune attack by neutralizing antibodies against it, in a subset of COVID-19 patients. Related: Low T Cell Counts Observed in COVID-19 Patients. Mutational Errors in COVID-19 Patients.

For example, progress made in developing gene mutant-specific inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), or cellular therapies. We were excited to unveil data showing that two distinct chemical series exhibit METTL1 inhibition in vitro at low nanomolar concentrations with minimal interference with other RNA and protein methyltransferases.

The Biotech Effect

Pharmaceutical Technology

“The inherent advantages of biopharma are that it allows you to pursue therapies against targets that are not small molecule therapies, for example by targeting protein-protein interactions and targeting GPCRs (G-protein coupled receptors),” he says. “Biotechnology has exploded across the industry. .
