The action of cremophor EL, the solubilizing agent of Althesin in a case of anaphylactic reaction which occurred during the induction of anaesthesia has been demonstrated using the Prausnitz-Küstner (P-K) test 10 weeks later. This test was positive at 2 h, with the heated serum and cremophor, proving the presence of allergic IgG STS antibodies.

Background: Infections with Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 or -2 usually present as mild chronic recurrent disease, however in rare cases can result in life-threatening conditions with a large spectrum of pathology. Monoclonal antibody therapy has great potential especially to treat infections with virus resistant to standard therapies. HDIT101, a humanized IgG targeting HSV-1/2 gB was previously investigated in phase 2 clinical trials.

Elucidation of protein adsorption beyond simple polymer surfaces to those presenting greater chemical complexity and nanoscopic features is critical to developing well-controlled nanobiomaterials and nanobiosensors. In this study, we repeatedly and faithfully track individual proteins on the same nanodomain areas of a block copolymer (BCP) surface and monitor the adsorption and assembly behavior of a model protein, immunoglobulin G (IgG), over time into a tight surface-packed structure. With discrete protein adsorption events unambiguously visualized at the biomolecular level, the detailed assembly and packing states of IgG on the BCP nanodomain surface are subsequently correlated to various regimes of IgG adsorption kinetic plots.

The efficacy of RNA-based vaccines has been recently demonstrated, leading to the use of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines. The application of self-amplifying mRNA within these formulations may offer further enhancement to these vaccines, as self-amplifying mRNA replicons enable longer expression kinetics and more potent immune responses compared to non-amplifying mRNAs. To investigate the impact of administration route on RNA-vaccine potency, we investigated the immunogenicity of a self-amplifying mRNA encoding the rabies virus glycoprotein encapsulated in different nanoparticle platforms (solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)).
