WuXi AppTec scientists recently contributed to a research study published in the journal Hepatology, characterizing the efficacy of prodrug DF-006 for treating chronic hepatitis B infection. DF-006 is an orally active agonist of alpha‐kinase 1, a pattern recognition receptor involved in the stimulation of innate immunity.  The authors show that DF‐006 is efficacious in hepatitis …Read More >

While chemo- and radio-therapy are considered the first-line of treatment for most cancers, its serious side effects have led to continuous innovation and discovery of new anti-tumor treatments. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) possess a magnitude of mechanism of action to elicit anti-tumor immune response, including OVs innate cytotoxicity and enhanced anti-tumor immunity by inserting immunomodulatory genes. …Read More >

Delivering comprehensive end-to-end solutions for creating, identifying, and supporting preclinical candidates, from discovery to development, with our integrated chemistry and biology research platforms.  

We have established an advanced and integrated in vitro and in vivo platform for various types of cancer vaccines, including peptide vaccines, mRNA vaccines, DC vaccines and more. Ovalbumin (OVA) is a key model antigen which has been widely used in vaccination experiments. Here we established an OVA overexpressed system based on different types of …Read More >

Ionizing radiation has largely been recognized as a local targeted therapy by a variety of mechanisms, including inducing direct DNA damage of cancerous tissue or contributing to systemic antitumor immunity. The capacity of cancer cells to recognize DNA damages and initiate repair plays a major role in radio-resistance. Furthermore, the irradiated tumor cell death can …Read More >

Abstract Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are promising complexes with therapeutic potential that aimed to the treatment of solid tumor and hematological malignancies. Compared with the therapeutic monoclonal antibody, an ADC-derived monoclonal antibody is conjugated with cytotoxic agents (payloads) which can deliver potent cellular toxins to targeted cancer cells specifically. We have established a state-of-the-art platform …Read More >
