Creating a Biological Switch Using DEL Technology
In addition to identifying chemical starting points for early drug discovery processes, DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology has now expanded to new applications, including the discovery of bifunctional affinity ligands historically considered difficult to develop. At the 2024 Gordon Research Conference, WuXi AppTec presented a poster describing how DEL can enable the rapid discovery of novel …Read More >
Recent Insights into Immuno-Oncology
The efficacy of CAR-T therapy is substantially influenced by the tumor microenvironment. This is particularly evident when PD-L1 is activated through CAR-T, leading to the inhibition of CAR-T cell activity via the PD-1 pathway. At the 2024 Recent Insights into Immuno-Oncology Conference, WuXi AppTec presented a poster describing an engineered CAR-T therapy that targets mesothelin …Read More >
Armoring CAR-T Therapy with PD-1 Blockade
The efficacy of CAR-T therapy is substantially influenced by the tumor microenvironment. This is particularly evident when PD-L1 is activated through CAR-T, leading to the inhibition of CAR-T cell activity via the PD-1 pathway. At AACR 2024, WuXi AppTec presented a poster describing an engineered CAR-T therapy that targets mesothelin and concurrently expresses a membrane-bound …Read More >

Control of the Antitumor Activity and Specificity of CAR T Cells via Organic Adapters Covalently Tethering the CAR to Tumor Cells
On-target, off-tumor toxicity is a specific type of toxic side effect that limits the anticancer applicability of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. In our latest publication, WuXi AppTec scientists contributed to a study describing how the tumor-targeting specificity and activity of T cells with a CAR (consisting of an antibody that catalytically forms a …Read More >

PD-1 Blockade Protein in 4th Generation Armored CAR-T Cells Enhances Cytotoxicity Effect with in vitro Re-challenge System
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells are genetically engineered T cells that express a surface receptor to recognize tumor-associated antigens (TAA). CAR-T cell therapy have demonstrated remarkable success with hematological malignancies. However, limited headway has been made towards solid tumor, due to various challenges, including recognition of tumor-specific antigen trafficking and penetration, localization and survival within …Read More >
