Development of NK Humanized Mouse Models
Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in the immune system and can recognize and kill cancer cells. Research in this area is focused on strategies for enhancing NK cell activity in tumor immunotherapy. These strategies include using monoclonal and multi-specific antibodies, as well as immune modulator molecules like cytokines, to redirect and stimulate …Read More >

How Peptide Vaccines are Reshaping Cancer Immunotherapy
Research on cancer immunotherapy has firmly established immune cells as key players in effective cancer treatment. Peptide vaccines directly targeting immune cells have demonstrated immense potential due to their specificity and applicability, but developing peptide vaccines to generate tumor-reactive T cells remains challenging. WuXi AppTec contributed to a review article discussing various elements of effective …Read More >

mRNA-Encoded Modulators Suppress Tumor Growth
Unlike conventional protein-targeted therapies, nucleic acid therapeutics have the potential for long-lasting effects and greater target specificity. WuXi AppTec provides a comprehensive platform to support the discovery of mRNA drugs. Our services include mRNA design and production, assessment of mRNA delivery systems, in vitro evaluation, and determination of in vivo efficacy and biodistribution. At AACR …Read More >
Rapamycin Ameliorates Renal Pathology in a Model of Passive Heymann Nephritis
Passive Heymann nephritis, induced by intravenous injection of anti-Fx1A in susceptible rat strains, is a complement-dependent model of glomerular disease that resembles membranous nephropathy in humans. At IMMUNOLOGY2024, WuXi AppTec presented a poster demonstrating that rapamycin exerts a protective effect against anti-Fx1A-induced passive Heymann nephritis by reducing proteinuria. The authors show that this antiproteinuric effect …Read More >
NK Cell Humanized Tumor Models
NK cells are effector innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) that do not require antigen-specific priming. NK cells are not only killer cells that help to suppress tumors, but also are involved in the generation and maintenance of adaptive immune responses. The process of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) makes use of innate immune cells which provide antitumor …Read More >
