Turning science into business: An optimised alternative to antibodies

Drug Discovery World

Also, the large, immunogenic nature of antibodies and protein ligands as therapeutic molecules means our partners are looking for alternative solutions that offer reduced immunogenicity and improved tissue penetration properties. Gene therapies have been seen to be largely non-immunogenic and non-toxic.

CRISPR breakthroughs: New solutions for common diseases

Drug Discovery World

Current research is focused on designing CRISPR-enhanced CAR T cells that are resistant to immunosuppressive cytokines such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) 2 , programmed cell death protein (PD-1) 3 , or other negative T cell regulators 4 (CTLA-4, LAG-3, and TIM-3), thus improving anti-tumour functions.
