Answer:
When I first read this question, all I could think about was the capsized fishing charter called, “the Erik”. The inept captain and crew of this boat caused the death of four passengers while three others remain missing. This disaster occurred back in 2011. I knew two of the passengers. One was recovered in 2013. The other is still listed as missing. However, this question concerns the “best story”. So, I’ll give you the accounts of my own experience. Back in 2013, my group of long-range fishing friends had chartered our annual 8-day trip out of Point Loma, San Diego. We had always chartered the same boat; the Shogun. At our traditional dinner the night before boarding, I remember the most notable topic being discussed was the remnants of Hurricane Ingrid. Ingrid had caused high winds and seas in the area where we wanted to fish.
Human monoclonal antibody (mAbs) are emerging in the field of cancer therapy and have become an increasing proportion of new drugs that are recently approved. Although there are some methods to obtain antigen-specific mAbs from human B cells, it is generally impossible to directly immunize human beings with antigens of interest. For example, for infectious agents, those approaches are largely restricted. To solve these obstacles, two main approaches have been developed; either by humanizing antigen-specific antibodies from small experimental animals (which is laborious due to the great genetic differences from humans) or rely on the in vitro selection of antigen-specific binders from human antibody repertoires. However, the human mAbs developed by these methods are usually with low affinity.
We are now coming up with a much better idea that is humanizing non-human primates mAbs instead of murine mAbs. Due to the close genetic relationship with humans, immunized NHPs have more potential to be isolated with high affinity antibody to human target than other experimental species, such as mouse, rat and rabbit. In addition, with appropriate method, NHP antibodies are much<span> easier to be humanized</span> without any loss of affinity compared to widely used murine antibodies.
