Rapid Mass Spectrometry-Based Multiattribute Method for Glycation Analysis with Integrated Afucosylation Detection Capability.

The multiattribute method (MAM) has emerged as a powerful tool for simultaneously screening multiple product quality attributes of therapeutic antibodies. One such potential critical quality attribute (CQA) is glycation, a common modification that can impact the heterogeneity, functional activity, and immunogenicity of therapeutic antibodies. However, current methods for monitoring glycation levels in MAM are rare and not sufficiently rapid and accurate.

Targeted co-delivery of resiquimod and a SIRPα variant by liposomes to activate macrophage immune responses for tumor immunotherapy.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the major immune cells infiltrating the tumor microenvironment (TME) and typically exhibit an immunosuppressive M2-like phenotype, which facilitates tumor growth and promotes resistance to immunotherapy. Additionally, tumor cells tend to express high levels of CD47, a "don't eat me" signal, that obstructs macrophage phagocytosis. Consequently, re-educating TAMs in combination with CD47 blockage is promising to trigger intense macrophage immune responses against tumors.
