Antibody News and Research

RSS

An antibody is a blood protein that is produced in response to and counteracts an antigen. Antibodies are produced in response to disease and help the body fight against the particular disease. In this way, antibodies help the body develop an immunity to disease.

Bio‑Techne and Refeyn close critical gap in bispecific antibody and biosimilar characterization

Bio‑Techne Corporation, a global provider of life science tools, reagents and diagnostic products, and Refeyn, the pioneer in mass photometry technology, today announced a first‑of‑its‑kind integrated workflow for the characterization of charge and size variants in bispecific antibodies and biosimilars.

New platform identifies barriers to therapeutic antibody delivery in solid tumors

Eben Rosenthal, MD, the Barry and Amy Baker Professor and Chair of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Vanderbilt Health, is the senior author of the paper. Rosenthal and co-author Guolan Lu, PhD, of Stanford University School of Medicine, developed single-cell spatial pharmacobiology (SSP), an experimental and analytical platform that allows visualization of drug-tumor interactions in human solid tumors.

Genetically-modified hookworms successfully deliver medicine to animal hosts

Hookworms, intestinal parasites that infect hundreds of millions of people in under-resourced tropical regions around the globe, have evolved to survive inside the human gut for years, secreting molecules that enable co-existence with their hosts.

Study finds serious blood-related side effects associated with antibody-drug conjugates

A major real-world study by University of California, Irvine pharmacy researchers has found serious blood-related side effects associated with antibody-drug conjugates, an increasingly important class of targeted cancer therapies.

New PET tracer offers a powerful tool for kidney cancer staging

A new PET tracer targeting carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) has demonstrated exceptional sensitivity and high tumor-to-background contrast in detecting clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), according to early clinical research.

Antibiotic-free therapy seeks to prevent newborn meningitis by blocking E. coli

Newborn meningitis is one of the most dangerous childhood infections. It is often life-threatening and can cause serious and lasting damage, including developmental problems, in the children who survive.

Higher-dose ocrelizumab depletes more B cells but does not slow MS progression

Higher-dose ocrelizumab produced greater peripheral B-cell depletion than the approved 600 mg regimen in two phase 3b trials of relapsing and primary progressive multiple sclerosis. However, the higher doses did not significantly delay disability progression, supporting the 600 mg dose as the current standard regimen with a favorable benefit-risk profile.

Teclistamab delivers deeper responses in relapsed myeloma patients

Patients with relapsed multiple myeloma treated with the immunotherapy teclistamab lived significantly longer and remained in remission far longer than those receiving standard therapies, according to results from a major international phase 3 clinical trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

WHO prioritizes candidate vaccines and therapeutics for Bundibugyo virus

In response to the current outbreak of Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus occurring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with cases also reported in Uganda, WHO convened several of its expert and advisory groups.

Boston Children's scientists create new booster-free mRNA vaccine strategy

In a new study published in Nature Immunology, researchers at Boston Children's Hospital demonstrated that pairing the original COVID-19 mRNA vaccine with an immune system enhancer, known as an adjuvant, extended the duration of the vaccine's protection in mice from a few months up to two years.

Phase two clinical trial demonstrates dramatic mobility gains in children with severe fibrous dysplasia

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare skeletal disorder in which normal bone is gradually replaced by weak fibro-osseous tissue, leading to fractures, pain, deformities, and severe mobility impairment. In many patients, diseased bone tissue produces excessive amounts of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), a hormone that causes phosphate loss through the kidneys.

Polymer-based immunotherapies enhance tumor targeting and immune activation

Conventional immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, can reinvigorate T cells but typically benefit less than 30% of patients.
