Prevention of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Adults 18 Years and Older Caused by 15 Serotypes

The Pharma Data

Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus. Different strains of this bacteria are called serotypes. Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) occurs when the bacteria infect parts of the body that are usually free from germs. pneumoniae serotypes contained in the vaccine.

The doors CRISPR libraries have and will open in phenotypic drug screening 

Drug Discovery World

In the event of an attack from similar bacteriophages, the bacteria can recognise these segments and use this to discern and cleave the viral DNA, which disrupts the viral gene function. Bacterial RNA is replaced by a synthetic guide RNA (gRNA) that can recognise a specific target DNA sequence.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

coli bacteria, as well as lambda bacteriophage, can adapt to the alterations in the composition of their nutrient medium. Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. These genetic switches assist transcription factors in binding to the promoter region.

Improving quality control for CAR T cell therapies

Drug Discovery World

The immune system typically identifies foreign entities such as bacteria and viruses and activates lymphocytes such as T cells to destroy them with overwhelming force. To overcome this evasion tactic, the CAR protein was developed to recognise other markers on cancer cells. Identifying the right CAR T cell target.
