RESUMO
The annual "Antibody Industrial Symposium", co-organized by LabEx MAbImprove and MabDesign, held its 10th anniversary edition in Montpellier, France, on June 28-29, 2022. The meeting focused on new results and concepts in antibody engineering (naked, mono- or multi-specific, conjugated to drugs or radioelements) and also on new cell-based therapies, such as chimeric antigenic receptor (CAR)-T cells. The symposium, which brought together scientists from academia and industry, also addressed issues concerning the production of these molecules and cells, and the necessary steps to ensure a strong intellectual property protection of these new molecules and approaches. These two days of exchanges allowed a rich discussion among the various actors in the field of therapeutic antibodies.

In a transgenic model of hepatocellular carcinoma induced by the expression of SV40 early sequences (TAg mice), deregulation of hepatocyte proliferation induces an apoptotic process whose decrease coincides with the appearance of neoplastic foci. Mating these mice with transgenic mice overexpressing Bcl-2 led to a dramatic reduction in the number of apoptotic hepatocytes during preneoplasia, resulting in an enlargement of the liver. This decrease in apoptosis was followed, 2 weeks later, by a reduction in hepatocellular proliferation. Sequential reduction in apoptosis and proliferation rate suggests that the anti-apoptotic and the anti-mitotic activities of Bcl-2 might be operative in distinct stages of preneoplasia.
