2020 pharmaceutical & bio forum-post corona, turning crisis into opportunity
On the afternoon of October 21 (Wed), the '2020
Pharmaceutical & Bio Forum' was held at Ferrum Hall in Euljiro, Seoul.
Repure Life Science presented the subject of ‘Therapeutic
Antibody Development Study Using Ending COVID-19'.
The main content is the competitiveness and potential
of COVID-19 antibody treatments, starting with existing businesses such as
immune anticancer drug candidates, cancer energy blockers, and new pulmonary
fibrosis treatments.
"COVID-19 antibody treatment can quickly obtain
the protein sequence of the antigenic determinant using a proven neutralizing
antibody protein," said Yoo, Jeong-yoon, head of the Repure Life Science
Research Center, who attended the lecture with CEO Kim, Yong-sang on this day.
"By analyzing the protein sequence of the antibody, he said, "Because
the development is underway, it is possible to prevent incorrect combinations
of antibodies, and because it is developed using the sequence of a neutralizing
antibody that has already been verified for neutralizing ability, the time to
verify the function of the antibody can be shortened.
COVID-19 infection route and main symptoms, comparison
of SARS-MERS-COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccine domestic and overseas research and
development trends (gene/virus/gene recombination/protein vaccine) COVID-19
treatment domestic and overseas research and development trends (drug
treatments and antibody treatments, and which stage), and other topics that
would be of interest to many people, and explained about COVID-19 treatment
using plasma of a recovered person developed jointly by Repure Life Science,
Yonsei Medical Center, and Kyungnam Biopharma.
The difference and advantage of COVID-19 treatment is
that the research period is shortened through the immunoprotein analysis
method, as well as the development of antibody therapeutics targeting all
structural proteins of the virus. It is expected to be able to cope with.
Nowadays the virus outbreak cycle has been shortened,
the reality is that even if COVID-19 is ended, other infectious diseases must
be prepared.
The presentation ended with the content that "the
plan for producing antibodies for the treatment of COVID-19 using the
immunoprotein technique presented by this study is expected to be effectively
applied to the production of antibodies for treatment of other infectious
diseases in the future."
