Effects of Intrauterine Human Chorionic Gonadotropin on Endometrial Receptivity in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycle by Omaima Al Dosary, Huda Hussaini, Manal Al-Obaidi

“…Background: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is one of the chief embryonic signals in primates. It modifies the uterine environment, encourages uterine receptivity, and plays a key role in embryo implantation.Objectives: To determine the impact of intrauterine infusion of hCG at day of ovum pickup on the endometrial receptivity using ultrasound measurement of endometrial thickness and sub-endometrial blood flow indices like resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and systole/diastole (S/D) ratio, and on improvement of intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome.Material and methods: This comparative study included 90 infertile females from the High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies, Baghdad, Iraq. …”

CC-96673 (BMS-986358), an affinity-tuned anti-CD47 and CD20 bispecific antibody with fully functional fc, selectively targets and depletes non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma by Dan Zhu, Haralambos Hadjivassiliou, Catherine Jennings, David Mikolon, Massimo Ammirante, Sharmistha Acharya, Jon Lloyd, Mahan Abbasian, Rama Krishna Narla, Joseph R. Piccotti, Katie Stamp, Ho Cho, Kandasamy Hariharan

“…Furthermore, preclinical studies have demonstrated that CC-96673 exhibits acceptable pharmacokinetic properties with a favorable toxicity profile in non-human primates. Collectively, these findings define CC-96673 as a promising CD47 × CD20 bispecific antibody that selectively destroys CD20+ cancer cells via enhanced phagocytosis and other effector functions.…”

SPA14 liposomes combining saponin with fully synthetic TLR4 agonist provide adjuvanticity to hCMV vaccine candidate by Ernesto Luna, Sophie Ruiz, Marie Garinot, Cyril Chavagnac, Pankaj Agrawal, John Escobar, Laurent Revet, Marie-Jeanne Asensio, Fabienne Piras, Francis G. Fang, Donald R. Drake, Bachra Rokbi, Daniel Larocque, Jean Haensler

“…When tested as an adjuvant in vivo with human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B (gB) and pentamer complex (PC) as test antigens, SPA14 was generally well tolerated and as active as AS01B for the induction of long-lasting CMV-neutralizing antibodies in mice and non-human primates (NHPs). Both adjuvants promoted the induction of Th-1 responses based on IgG2c production in mice and IFN-γ production in mice and NHPs, but in mice, a higher level of Th-2 cytokines (IL-5) and higher IgG1 over IgG2c secreting cells ratios were obtained with SPA14 indicating that the adjuvant profile of SPA14 could be less Th-1 biased than that of AS01B. …”
