New anti-CD20 antibodies have been developed, including biosimilars and biobetters. Biosimilars are mAbs that have the same amino acid sequence as the reference mAb (commercial therapeutic product) but are produced by other manufacturing processes. Biobetters have the same target epitope as the reference mAb, however they do have some structural modifications to make it better than the reference mAb. Since many patients do not respond to treatment with anti-CD20 antibodies, biobetters appear as a valid alternative for the treatment of NHL. The main mode of action of these anti CD20 mAbs is through Antibody-Dependent Cellular Citotoxicity (ADCC), involving the activation of Natural Killers (NK) cells. These cells can act through the interaction of receptors such as NKG2D with its ligands (NKG2DL) found on the surface of target cells. Our group proposes the development of a biosimilar of rituximab and the creation of a biobetter antibodies based on the addition of an NKG2D ligand to the mAb structure.","PeriodicalId":427855,"journal":{"name":"Anais do IV International Symposium on Immunobiological e VII Seminário Anual Científico e Tecnológico de Bio-Manguinhos","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121214298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Brazil, it’s expected the occurrence of 600.000 new cases for year for the biennium 2018-2019. The immune system acts controlling and eradicating the disease. However, in malignancy scenario, several mechanisms of immune suppression may be present, reducing the antitumor immunity of the host. Thus, antibody therapy against immunological checkpoints, such as programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), has been shown to be successful in reversing immunosuppression. Biosimilars are biological medicines that have the same safety and efficacy as reference medicines. The substitution of reference products for biosimilars may increase patients’ access to these drugs as well as reduce public health expenditures.","PeriodicalId":427855,"journal":{"name":"Anais do IV International Symposium on Immunobiological e VII Seminário Anual Científico e Tecnológico de Bio-Manguinhos","volume":"594 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121981160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, there are no specific treatments or vaccines against ZIKV.

Therefore, a way in which research laboratories operate as internal and external service providers has been discussed in BioManguinhos. LAMAM as a laboratory specialized in the field of macromolecules matches the concept of outsourcing of service as many biotechnology companies abroad. For this purpose, it is necessary to apply a laboratory management model for quick decision-making and for the choice of technological platforms to be made available to potential partners. Objective: Apply a laboratory management model based on indicators to evaluate bottlenecks and select potential technological plataforms executed on LAMAM to provide internal demands and external services. Methodology: We selected the SMART method (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Based) for laboratory management, which is a model based on the choice of key performance indicators, subdivided in different categories: Performance (number of demanded procedures, developed activities, introduction of processes control); Human Resources (academic formation and produtivity), External Sources (grants founding obtained, external partnerships) and Regulatory Compliance. As for database were used the records of the last five to ten years of LAMAM. Results: Regarding to the performance indicators the most requested platform is the chromatographic followed by physico-chemical characterizations, corresponding to 55.4% and 23.0% of the executed demands over the last 5 years. The number of collaborations in projects of Bio-Manguinhos portfolio is around 11, however the level of requisition for activities performed increased considerably with the introduction of internal process controls since 2015. Over the last ten years LAMAM has continuously invested in the training of its professionals, which reflected directly the increase, since 2009, of published manuscripts (2.3/ year), pos-graduated students (1.8/year), external collaborations (11 collaborations/year, since 2017), contemplated projects (6 since 2014) and effective participations in three collaborative FIOCRUZ networks (Nano, Cancer and Chagas). LAMAM has all its employees properly trained in Good Laboratories Practices and Biosafety and since 2015, the laboratory began to produce operating instructions and standard operating procedures. The forecast for 2019 is an implementation of a sistematic study for valuation and cost of activities. Conclusion: Over the last 10 years, LAMAM has effectively acted in the training of human resources. The increase of internal and external demands has evidenced the applicability of LAMAM as a facility in the area of macromolecules.
