Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.

4-1BB and the critical importance of local control

SugarCone Biotech

Targeting 4-1BB remained of interest to the immuno-oncology field as cell culture experiments and tumor models in mice suggested that robust anti-tumor immune responses could be triggered by anti-4-1BB antibody therapies. This is the T cell type most closely associated with anti-tumor immune responses.

mRNA Therapeutics: Revolutionizing Treatment Beyond Vaccines

DrugBank

Once delivered into the body, the mRNA instructs cells to produce these antigens, which are then presented to the immune system. This process triggers a robust immune response, enabling the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Another challenge is the potential for unintended immune responses.

Targeting the immunotherapy potential of cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 with new advancements in protein engineering

Drug Target Review

Natural killer (NK) cells are another immune cell type that, as the name suggests, also have potent cell-killing activity, and have a well-known role in the anti-tumour immune response. In the context of a tumour microenvironment, Tregs are often present in high numbers, preventing an effective immune response to the tumour.

CAR-NK cells: promising for cancer therapy

Drug Target Review

NK cells are among the front line of protection from infected and abnormal cells as part of the ‘innate immune response’. They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells).
