Last month, Elodie, Magali, and I found ourselves in Lisbon—not for a spring getaway (though the weather was a delightful preview of the season) and certainly not for ultra-trail training (although the city’s hills did give our calves a solid workout!). Instead, we were there for EIP, an event…

Immunogenicity, why do we keep talking about it? Immunogenicity can, in the simplest of terms, be described as a subject’s ability to generate antibodies specific to the dosed protein therapeutic. While stating it this way understates the complexity of the immune system and the methods needed to detect and characterize…

The European Immunogenicity Platform (EIP) is a central meeting place for scientists and biopharmaceutical companies in Europe. The goal of the EIP is to improve knowledge and expertise in immunogenicity. This is achieved through collaboration between scientists and industry experts. The EIP works with companies, institutes, and professionals involved in…

Immunogenicity refers to the ability of a substance, such as an antigen or a vaccine, to provoke an immune response in an organism. The recognition of the substance as foreign triggers an immune response, which involves the production of antibodies and the activation of immune cells to fight against or…

ELISpot (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot) is an immunoassay-based technique used to quantify cells that are capable of secreting proteins, including cytokines, cytotoxic molecules, and antibodies, when stimulated with the appropriate antigen. Initially designed to monitor the frequency of circulating antigen-specific memory B-cells, it is now commonly used to determine the frequency…
