Using single-cell technology to create human antibody-based therapeutics

Drug Discovery World

The company is co-founded by former team leaders and multi-disciplinary tool builders from 10x Genomics. Taking a human-first approach, Infinimmune is leveraging single-cell technology to create truly human antibody-based therapeutics directly derived from the human immune system. This has consequences for safety and efficacy.

ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

In the study, immunization with the hAd5-COVID-19 vaccine inhibited SARS-CoV-2 virus replication in 100% (10 of 10) of Rhesus macaques, with a drop in viral replication starting on the first day of vaccine administration, and undetectable viral levels as early as three to five days post-challenge in most of the animals.

Kiromic Announces the Filing of Key European Patents for Its Chimeric PD-1 (chPD1) Target

The Pharma Data

Kiromic chPD1 has shown in preclinical data to show a cytotoxic response in 9 different in vivo models with 100% long-term PFS with the induction of host memory responses. Chimeric PD-1 T-cells also release cytokines to further initiate immune responses to eradicate the tumor cells.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Inducing double strand breaks at unintended locations in the genome can lead to off-target genetic modifications that are difficult to predict and potentially deleterious. Complicating matters even more, researchers currently lack effective and reliable methods for detecting and measuring off-target genomic events.
