The Yearly Race for an Influenza Vaccine and the Role of Reagents
In this blog, we explain how seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines are developed, manufactured and validated, and introduce our contract services for the rapid development of custom influenza reagents. The Influenza Viruses: A Quick Recap The influenza viruses are...
Avoiding the Immunopathology Pitfalls of a COVID-19 Vaccine
In the second of a three-part series on COVID-19 vaccines, we explore the potential challenges in stimulating safe vaccine responses and outline the role that diagnostics will play in guiding their development. Rogue Responses Antibodies play a crucial role in...
Designing for Differentiation: Why We Need Highly Specific Diagnostics for a COVID-19 Vaccine
Assessment of vaccine-induced immune responses in clinical trials will require highly specific diagnostic assays to ensure safety. This blog was originally published on Clinical Lab Manager. The Vaccine Race Vaccines are the most effective means of preventing...
An Early Look at Vaccines for COVID-19
In the first of a three-part series on the design, immunology and manufacture of COVID-19 vaccines, we take an early look at the major technologies under development and weigh-up the challenges these vaccines will face in reaching late-phase clinical trials. Why We...
