Adoptive Cell Therapy Using Antigen-Specific TCRs Engineered T cell receptors provide a promising therapeutic approach to fight cancer by focusing immune cells to target specific antigens. Antigen-specific T-cell receptors (TCRs) play a crucial role in the adaptive immune response by recognizing specific antigen peptides presented by MHC molecules on the surface of infected or abnormal cells. These TCRs are typically found on the surface ...

Lentiviruses Lentiviral transduction is a powerful tool for introducing genes into cells and is used extensively for cellular engineering. It has recently made its way to the clinic with ex-vivo cell therapy applications. Lentiviruses (LV) have also been used extensively for the modeling of SARS-CoV-2 viral infection of human cells. Lentiviral transduction is a powerful tool for introducing genes into cells and is used extensively for cellular engineering...

Methods For Drug Discovery   Immunotherapies  based on targeting the  PD-1:PD-L1  immune checkpoint pathway are having clinical impact and are giving new hope to cancer patients. However, positive response to treatment is not guaranteed and resistance remains a concern. Improving outcomes based on immunotherapy requires multiple approaches for manipulating the complexities of the immune system and tumor microenvironment. To meet these challenges, a series of r...

Cancer & Immunotherapy Immunotherapy is revolutionizing cancer treatment by unleashing the power of the body’s immune system against tumors. Immunotherapy is revolutionizing cancer treatment by unleashing the power of the body’s immune system against tumors. Cancer is a complex group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. It can affect virtually any tissue or organ in the body and may manifest as...

Bispecific Antibodies & BiTE® (Bispecific T-Cell Engager) Services   CD3/CD19 BiTE® - Mechanism of Action The CD3/CD19 BiTE® is a biopharmaceutical drug known as a Bi-specific T-cell engager for a second-line treatment for Philadelphia chromosome-negative relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It binds to CD19 on cancer cells (e.g. Raji cells) and CD3 on T cells simultaneously, thus bringing T lymphocytes closer to cancer cells expressing specific cancer ...

Bispecific Antibodies & BiTE® (Bispecific T-Cell Engager) Clinical & Therapeutic Research An antibody (Ab) containing two different antigen-binding sites within one molecule is known as a bispecific antibody (BsAb).  BsAb research has expanded greatly within the past ten years. To date, two BsAbs,  Blinatumomab   and Emicizumab, have been approved in the US and the EU, while a third BsAb, Catumaxomab, is already commercially available in the EU. Additionally, th...

Gene & Cell Therapy Gene and cell therapies are paving the way for innovative treatments that can offer new hope for patients with previously untreatable diseases. Gene therapy and cell therapy are cutting-edge medical approaches aimed at revolutionizing healthcare. Gene therapy involves the manipulation and introduction of genetic material into a patient's cells to correct genetic disorders or enhance therapeutic effects. This can be achieved by ...

Cell-Based Assays and Expression Kits Cells can be engineered to serve as readouts for cell-based assays as a complement or alternative to biochemical assays. A variety of cell-based assay types can be used for research and development applications, including signaling pathway analysis, inhibitor/activator studies, CAR-T cell functional screening, ADCC assays, high-throughput screening systems and much more. We provide a variety of cell-based assay express...

CRISPR Services  CRISPR-Cas9 is a technique used for genome editing that is adapted from the bacteria’s antiviral immune response. Bacteria capture and store DNA fragments from invading viruses within a region of their genome, and these CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) guide sequences help detect and protect the bacteria from future infections. When the CRISPR guide sequences detect an invading virus or DNA whose sequence is complementary to the CR...

CAR-T Cell Therapy Engineering T cells using a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to boost specific immune cell killing has made significant progress in the treatment of some cancer types. CAR-T cell therapy may also have potential benefits beyond cancer treatment, including treatments for infectious and chronic inflammatory diseases such as hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, lupus, and arthritis. Companies are also investigating CAR-T cell therapy in organ transplantation to eliminate the n...

Cell Lines and Primary Cells Cell lines are extremely useful tools for the study of protein interactions, gene activation, cell signaling, viral infection, cell-to-cell communication, and other biological processes in the context of an intact cell system rather than cell-free biochemical assays. BPS Bioscience has developed over 250 stable cell lines applicable across a wide range of research areas including immunotherapy, CAR-T cell therapy, cell signaling, metabolism, neuroscience, and mu...

CAR T-Cell Therapy Overview CAR-T is a cross of immunotherapy, gene therapy, and cellular therapy. Many successful immunotherapies are based on checkpoint inhibitors that block the mechanisms tumor cells use to hide from T cells. CAR-T immunotherapies go one step further by engineering T cells to enhance the immune response against a specific tumor antigen. CAR-T is a promising approach for cancer and other diseases, especially severe cancers that do not respond well to othe...

Claudin-18: A Therapeutic Target in Oncology Claudins, a family of small tetraspan proteins expressed in a tissue or cell-specific manner, are major components of the multimeric protein architecture of tight junctions, which prevent ions or small molecules from passing freely between epithelial or endothelial cells. These proteins contain four transmembrane domains mainly responsible for interacting side-to-side with neighboring proteins. Two extracellular loops regulate p...

The Power of Lentiviruses in Cell Engineering Introduction The ability to manipulate nucleic acids has been a key discovery that has driven research, and ultimately clinical applications, forward.
