Research and Markets: Therapeutic Antibody Engineering: Current and Future Advances Driving the Strongest Growth Area …

Posted: at 12:47 pm

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kknlff/therapeutic) has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new book "Therapeutic antibody engineering: Current and future advances driving the strongest growth area in the pharmaceutical industry" to their offering.

Therapeutic Antibody Engineering examines all aspects of engineering monoclonal antibodies and analyses the effect that various genetic engineering approaches will have on candidates of the future. Chapters in the first part of the book provide an introduction to monoclonal antibodies, their discovery and development and the fundamental technologies used in their production. In the following chapters, the book covers a number of specific issues relating to different aspects of antibody engineering, including variable chain engineering, targets and mechanisms of action, classes of antibody and the use of antibody fragments, among many other topics. The last part of the book examines development issues, the interaction of human IgGs with non-human systems, and cell line development, before a conclusion looking at future issues affecting the field of therapeutic antibody engineering.

Key Topics Covered:

- Introduction to biologics and monoclonal antibodies

- Value proposition for therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and Fc fusion proteins

- Antibody structure-function relationships

- Fundamental technologies for antibody engineering

- Sources of antibody variable chains

- Variable chain engineering - humanization and optimization approaches

Is there a difference between GE & GMO?

Posted: at 12:47 pm

Enter the rainy season and I turn to my inside chores...removing dried seeds from their seed pods.

And catching up on my reading ... checking up on what is new in the world of seeds. Namely, in the genetic engineering sector.

I stumbled onto an article about the difference between the GE and GMO designation. This author stated there is a definite difference between the two terms ... and she is right to a point.

Technically, GMO ... genetically modified organism ... refers to any plant that has been hybridized through pollen transference ... by humans, bees or any other natural process. So any cultivar such as 'Early Girl' tomato and Hosta 'June' are, in fact, GMOs.

'Early Girl' has been purposely bred by hand pollination to produce an early-ripening tomato. 'June' arrived on the gardening scene as a naturally-occurring sport of another hosta ... 'Halcyon'.

The GMO designation also holds true for those varieties that have been crossed within their own family ... broccoli with kale, apricot with plum, plum with cherry. These have all been done by humans using conventional pollen-transfer methods. Sounds a bit weird perhaps, but a perfectly plausible possibility in nature.

I do not think the pluerry ... the plum/cherry cross ... has been released to the market just yet. But the others are available.

In fact, cherry-plum hybrids have been around since the late 19th century. I found one reference listing over 20 different cultivars.

As for the apricot-plum hybrids ... they are called Pluots if the plant has predominantly plum parentage or Apriums if the parentage leans to the apricot side. Both are registered trademark names.

Then there is broccolini ... also known by several other names such as Asparation, brocoletti and Tenderstem. (The first and last are both trade registered names.) This is a natural cross between broccoli and kai-lan, a Chinese broccoli.

Privately owned genetic databases may hinder diagnosis and bar the way to the arrival of personalized medicine

Posted: at 12:46 pm

Public release date: 31-Oct-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Mary Rice mary.rice@riceconseil.eu European Society of Human Genetics

In response to the on-line publication by the European Journal of Human Genetics today (Wednesday) of an article by US researchers led by Dr. Robert Cook-Degan, a former member of the US Office of Technology Assessment, showing that Myriad Genetics, providers of the BRCA1/2 genetic test in the US, has amassed vast quantities of clinical data without sharing it, Professor Martina Cornel, chair of the European Society of Human Genetics' Professional and Public Policy committee, said:

"We are very concerned that such important data is being withheld from those who most need it. Interpreting the variants of unknown significance (VUS) that may be found on analysing the patient's genome plays an essential part in being able to provide proper counselling and if necessary, preventive or therapeutic guidance. By not sharing their data on the VUS obtained from individuals undergoing BRCA1/2 testing, where Myriad is the sole commercial provider of a test in the US, geneticists have been unable to develop the up-to-date algorithms that are necessary to best interpret the effects of genetic variants. While Myriad has access to public databases in order to help interpret their VUS results, this is currently not reciprocal.

"We know that, regrettably, medical geographic inequities are common, but what is particularly worrying about this situation is that it is the first time that such inequities have been based on a lack of access to clinical information, rather than lack of a product. Myriad's stated aim to enter the European market more vigorously may lead to unfair competition with academic institutions for predictive precision. It is vital that progress towards personalised medicine, which holds out so much promise, is not hindered by companies maintaining private genomic databases. Policymakers should take an urgent look at the regulatory and reimbursement issues involved in genomic testing in order for all the data that is essential to understanding the clinical significance of VUS to be made public, to the benefit of patients and healthcare providers alike."
