Genentech, Novartis and Tanox have co-developed Genentech's anti-IgE humanized monoclonal antibody omalizumab for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma. The antibody is currently undergoing phase II clinical trials for allergic rhinitis in Canada and phase III clinical trials for both indications in Japan. Omalizumab is at the pre-registration stage for both indications in the US, New Zealand, Switzerland and Western Europe, and is currently registered for both indications in Australia.

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

Hybridoma Technology

Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.
