Tregitope Peptides: The Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient of IVIG?
Five years ago, we reported the identification and characterization of several regulatory T-cell epitopes (now called Tregitopes) that were discovered in the heavy and light chains of IgG (De Groot et al. Blood, 2008). When added ex vivo to human PBMCs, these Tregitopes activated regulatory T cells (Tregs), increased expression of the transcription factor FoxP3, and induced IL-10 expression in ...
متن کاملTregitope update: mechanism of action parallels IVIg.
In the course of screening immunoglobulin G (IgG) sequences for T cell epitopes, we identified novel Treg epitope peptides, now called Tregitopes, contained in the highly conserved framework regions of Fab and Fc. Tregitopes may provide one explanation for the expansion and stimulation of Treg cells following intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy. Their distinguishing characteristics includ...
متن کاملStable isotopic composition of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) naproxen.
A survey of the multi-stable isotopic composition of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), naproxen, was performed to assess the potential of Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) to distinguish the provenance of APIs. Twenty-six lots of naproxen from six manufacturers representing four countries (Italy, India, Ireland, and the USA) were analyzed for three isotope ratios (13C/12C, 18O/16O...
متن کاملQuality investigation of hydroxyprogesterone caproate active pharmaceutical ingredient and injection
The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of hydroxyprogesterone caproate (HPC) active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sources that may be used by compounding pharmacies, compared to the FDA-approved source of the API; and to investigate the quality of HPC injection samples obtained from compounding pharmacies in the US, compared to the FDA-approved product (Makena(®)). Samples o...
متن کاملUse of Pat for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Crystallization Process Control
Crystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or pharmaceutical drug substances is a crucial unit operation. In this paper challenges and scientific progress over the last two decades in the areas of pharmaceutical crystallization thermodynamics, kinetics, polymorphism, process modeling, and process control were attempted. Effective utilization of such scientific knowledge for optim...
