Journal ArticleDOI
Rings in Drugs
TL;DR: Analysis of rings, ring systems, and frameworks in drugs listed in the FDA Orange Book gives insight into the chemical novelty of drugs and potentially efficient ways to assess compound libraries and develop compounds from hit identification to lead optimization and beyond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of resting human primary T cells with chimeric receptors: costimulation from CD28, inducible costimulator, CD134, and CD137 in series with signals from the TCR zeta chain.
TL;DR: This type of chimeric receptor may now be used to discover the most potent combination of costimulatory signals that will improve current immunotherapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual IL-17A and IL-17F neutralisation by bimekizumab in psoriatic arthritis: evidence from preclinical experiments and a randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial that IL-17F contributes to human chronic tissue inflammation.

TL;DR: IL-17F is supported as a key driver of human chronic tissue inflammation and the rationale for dual neutralisation of IL-17A and IL- 17F in PsA and related conditions is supported.

Assay for identifying antibody producing cells
Derek Thomas Brown,Butler Lisa,Cromie Karen Dorothy,Griffiths Meryn Ruth,Alastair D. G. Lawson,Daniel John Lightwood +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a homogeneous assay for identifying an antibody producing cell producing an antibody which binds to a selected antigen is presented. But the method is not suitable for the detection of cells that do not produce an antibody.
Patent
Cell activation process and reagents therefor
TL;DR: In this article, a cell activation process is described in which an effector cell is transformed with DNA coding for a chimeric receptor containing two or more different cytoplasmic signalling components.
