T cell assays for non-clinical immunogenicity risk assessment: best practices recommended by the European Immunogenicity Platform [PDF]
In vitro and in silico tools help drug developers reduce unwanted immunogenicity of biologics at the design stage. These include assays that examine different immune system processes leading to anti-drug antibody (ADA) or cytotoxic cellular response ...

Immunogenicity assessment of AAV-based gene therapies: An IQ consortium industry white paper
Immunogenicity has imposed a challenge to efficacy and safety evaluation of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based gene therapies. Mild to severe adverse events observed in clinical development have been implicated with host immune responses against ...
