Scientists at the New York University (NYU) Abu Dhabi have used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to determine the structure of a specific nanobody, Nb23. Drug Target Review’s Victoria Rees spoke with lead researcher Professor Gennaro Esposito to find out how their findings could lead to a better understanding of…
In this article, Dr Jens Bjørheim, Chief Medical Officer of Ultimovacs, explains why vaccination has proved the best strategy to target human telomerase and why this complex may be an effective approach to combat cancer.
The binding specificity and high binding affinity of therapeutic antibodies makes them an ideal therapy for treating a wide range of human disorders. Advancements in antibody technologies have resulted in huge development success along with a boost in novel and improved treatment strategies. However, specific challenges and considerations are faced…
Neutralisation resistance generated by Spike (S) protein mutations in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a challenge to antibody therapies for COVID-19. Antibody cocktails targeting the S protein receptor binding domain (RBD) are one way to avoid viral neutralisation escape, however only certain antibody combinations are currently effective.…
Within this ebook, find articles on antibodies to combat SARS-CoV-2 and an evaluation of the various therapeutic forms they can take.
Bioanalytical systems have rapidly developed over the past 10 years for lead selection during cell-line development. The advanced technologies for the timely and cost-effective screening of antibodies or vaccines involve consideration of quantitation, kinetics and other critical quality attributes (CQA).
The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies leishmaniasis as a neglected tropical disease for which new treatments are vitally needed. Leishmaniasis primarily affects people in South America, East Africa and Asia, especially those weakened by malnutrition and poverty. To help those with this disfiguring and potentially life-threatening parasitic disease, the European…
We have entered a new era of drug discovery where the use of advanced cell models such as multi-cellular co-cultures, stem cells and CRISPR-based screens can lead to the next generation of therapeutics.
There is room for improvement in the production of monoclonal antibodies; commercial production needs increased process efficiency and reduced costs.
Monoclonal antibodies have shown great promise in the treatment of various cancers. This article discusses how therapeutic antibodies are produced and the various treatment strategies that are currently being adopted.
Having worked in antibody research for over 20 years, Gary McLean has seen how the industry has progressed and understands the potential that antibodies have in the future of medicine. Nikki Withers hears how the focus has shifted from discovery to genetic sequence manipulation and how this can be applied…
Protein therapeutics are a major class of biopharmaceuticals and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) rule this domain. In this article, Dr Nancy Lopez-Anton outlines the key technologies employed in this important therapeutic discovery area; how they have evolved and what obstacles must be navigated to ensure future success.
Monoclonal antibodies are used in a wide range of applications, such as basic research, biopharmaceutical development and in vitro diagnostics.
The articles in this antibodies In-Depth Focus assess the methods used to develop antibody therapeutics and the evolution of this area of medicine to identify drug targets.
