Article Synopsis
  • Immunogenicity guidance in the biopharmaceutical industry has evolved significantly over the past 20 years due to initial negative reactions with erythropoietin, leading to stringent practices for all biotherapeutic drugs.
  • A recent workshop by the European Bioanalysis Forum highlighted the need to reassess current immunogenicity testing methods, drawing from two decades of experience to suggest more relevant approaches.
  • The proposed new paradigm encourages a context-based assessment of immunogenicity risk, viewing it as a pharmacodynamic biomarker, which aims to streamline testing strategies and better allocate resources for patient benefit.

CD8+ T cells have the potential to control HSV-2 infection. However, limited information has been available on CD8+ T cell epitopes or the functionality of antigen specific T cells during infection or following immunization with experimental vaccines. Peptide panels from HSV-2 proteins ICP27, VP22 and VP13/14 were selected from in silico predictions of binding to human HLA-A*0201 and mouse H-2Kd, Ld and Dd molecules.

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) promise specific correction of disease-causing gene expression. Therapeutic implementation, however, has been forestalled by poor delivery to the appropriate tissue, cell type, and subcellular compartment. Topical administration is considered to circumvent these issues.
