Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Effect of Concomitant Therapy With Steroids and Tumor Necrosis Factor Antagonists for Induction of Remission in Patients With Crohn's Disease: a Systematic Review and Pooled Meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 20, 2021 Based on a meta-analysis of data from randomized trials of anti-TNF therapies in patients with active CD, patients receiving corticosteroids during induction therapy with anti-TNF agents did not have higher rates of clinical improvement compared with patients not receiving corticosteroids during induction therapy. Given these findings and the risks of corticosteroid use, clinicians should consider early weaning of corticosteroids during induction therapy with anti-TNF agents for patients with corticosteroid-refractory CD.

Journal: Optimization of culture conditions for high-level expression of soluble and active tumor necrosis factor-α in E. coli. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 20, 2021 Binding kinetics were also studied using Cimzia as an anti-TNF-α molecule and 7.2 EM was calculated as the equilibrium dissociation constant value (K). The significant expression level of the recombinant protein in the soluble form, its high purity, and assessment of its biological activity showed that the expressed protein could be used in tests of ELISA and MTT to assess the activity of anti-TNF-α agents.

(Pubmed Central) - Aug 15, 2021 P4 Pre-treatment IFNα positivity did not predict remission in any of the treatment arms, suggesting that the IFNα system is distinct from the pathways of TNF, IL-6, and T-cell activation in early RA.

[VIRTUAL] Understanding covalent and non-covalent interactions during in-vitro refolding of antibody fragments (Fab) (Room: Zoom Room 04) - Aug 13, 2021 - Abstract #ACSFall2021ACS_Fall_9228; Two model antibody fragments (Biosimilar rHu Ranibizumab and rHu Certolizumab) were expressed as inclusion bodies using E. coli host...We conclude that compared to non-covalent interactions, covalent interacttions majorly drive the in-vitro refolding rates of antibody fragments. We also conclude that ETD can provide significant alternative fragmentation information that complements CID-derived data to improve the disulfide bond mapping during in-vitro refolding of multidomain proteins like antibody fragments.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 2, 2021 Age, BMI, systemic CS use, and disease activity were identified as SIE risk factors in CZP-treated patients. Risk of malignancies was greater in older patients, whereas obesity and male sex were MACE risk factors.

There were significantly lower infection-related hospitalizations and associated costs in TNF-experienced RA patients treated with abatacept than TNFis and other non-TNFis. Results from NMA on the use of biologics in AS indicates infliximab emerged as the drug with the highest probability of obtaining ASAS20 response both at 12 and 24 weeks of treatment.
