final: biologics Flashcards
CDRs
variable domains of antigen recepor on an antibody
12 per antibody molecule
phage display technologies
one way to produce monoclonal antibodies
isolate animal phage that binds the target
recovered antibodies amplified with e coli
antibody fragments used as therepeutic agents or converted into intact human immunoglobins with plasmids
Immunization of a humanized transgenic mouse.
one way to produce monoclonal antibodies
mouse produces humanized antibodies
nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, avelumab
Anti-PD-1 Biologics
anti-cancer immuno-modulator
PD-L1 is expressed by cancer cells to block destruction by t cells
pd1 inhibitors keep t cells active and allow them to kill cancer cells
CAR-T therapy
Engineered T-cell receptor specific to cancer cells
GLP 1 and protien type
gpcr for diabetes 2
