Experts develop commercial formulation Campto for colorectal cancer

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. The compound 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN38) is a broad-spectrum antitumor agent whose applications are greatly limited by its poor solubility. Therefore, irinotecan, the hydrophilic derived prodrug of SN38, has been developed as the commercial formulation Campto® for colorectal cancer.

Study findings likely to guide the design of engineered TAPBPR variants with tailored HLA specificity

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified variants of a chaperone molecule that optimizes the binding and presentation of foreign antigens across the human population, which could open the door to numerous applications where robust presentation to the immune system is important, including cell therapy and immunization. The findings were published today in Science Advances.
