Efgartigimod reduces serum levels of total IgG, including pathogenic autoantibodies, by blocking FcRn function without permanent impairment. Efgartigimod alfa can be used for generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG) and primary immune thrombocytopenia research.

Nogapendekin alfa his tag is an immunostimulant that binds to the IL-2RβγC complex on immune cells. Nogapendekin alfa his tag stimulates the proliferation and activation of natural killer cells and CD8⁺ T cells, upregulates the expression of granzyme B and perforin, and activates the innate and adaptive immune branches. Nogapendekin alfa his tag forms ALT-803 with IL-15RαSuFc; this complex has an extended biological half-life, improved biodistribution and retention in lymphoid tissues, enhances natural killer cell-mediated rituximab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and reduces tumor burden and improves survival when combined with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy. Nogapendekin alfa his tag can be used in the research of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Interferon alfa-2b is a type I interferon that activates novel genes and exerts potent antiviral and antiproliferative activity on target cells. Signaling by Interferon alfa-2b requires receptor-dependent activation of Stat1 and Stat2 to form a heterodimeric STAT that binds to the DNA-binding protein IRF-9 (p48) and forms ISGF-3 (IFN-stimulated gene factor 3). The driver genes are then further activated by ISGF-3 to achieve antiviral function.

Oncaspar (PEG-L-asparaginase; Pegasparaginase), a pegylated form of native Escherichia coli-derived L-asparaginase, breaks down the amino acid asparagine that are circulating in the bloodstream. Oncaspar plays an important role in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) through asparagine hydrolysis and activation of the integrated stress response (ISR) pathway.

Somapacitan is a growth hormone analog. Somapacitan is used for research on growth hormone deficiency.

Tolododekin alfa (ANK-101) is a drug conjugate that anchors and combines IL-12 with Aluminum Hydroxide (HY-B1521). Tolododekin alfa promotes the recruitment of effector CD8⁺ T cells to tumor sites, enhances the production of γ-interferon, upregulates the expression of PD-L1, and induces sustained pro-inflammatory gene expression in mouse tumor models. Tolododekin alfa can be used for research related to advanced solid tumors.

Elarekibep (PRS-060) (AZD1402) is a high affinity, slowly dissociating, long-acting full antagonist of IL-4Ra. Elarekibep can be used for the research of T2 endotype asthma.

Epoetin beta (rhEPO) is a recombinant form of erythropoietin. Epoetin beta is responsible for the maintenance of erythropoiesis and can be used for anaemia research.

Aldafermin (NGM282) is an analog of fibroblast growth factor 19. Aldafermin can be used for the research of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Peginterferon alfa-2b (PegIFN a-2b; Sch 54031; Sylatron; ViraferonPeg) is an immunomodulator. Peginterferon alfa-2b is a recombinant alfa-2b interferon covalently linked PEG with antiviral activity against HCV. Peginterferon alfa-2b decreases viral DNA in HIV. Peginterferon alfa-2b can be used in research of melanoma and hepatitis C.

Berahyaluronidase alfa (ALT-B4) is a recombinant hyaluronidase engineered from human hyaluronidase PH20. Berahyaluronidase alfa features favorable structural stability and enzymatic activity, and can be used to enhance drug absorption and dispersion in subcutaneous or intradermal administration.

Alglucosidase alfa (rhGAA) is a hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen-specific recombinant human α-glucosidase. Alglucosidase alfa can be used for Pompe disease research.

Ropeginterferon alfa-2b (Ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft) is a monopegylated IFN-α that can be used for the research of myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Recifercept (TA-46) is a soluble, recombinant fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) molecule. Recifercept can be used as a decoy/ligand trap to decrease the amount of fibroblast growth factors that can bind to mutant FGFR3 receptors. Recifercept can be used for the research of achondroplasia.

Valziflocept (BAX1810) is a recombinant soluble human FcγRIIb receptor that targets Fc and FcγR. FcγRs bind to and neutralize pathogenic IgG, thereby acting as a "decoy" or "scavenger" receptor that reduces the severity of autoimmune diseases. Valziflocept is used in research on autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Peginterferon alfa-2a (Ro 25-8310/000) is a 40 kDa branched pegylated IFN alfa-2a with antiviral and immunomodulatory activities. Peginterferon alfa-2a binds to the Interferon Receptor on the surface of target cells, induces the formation of ISGF3, and promotes the expression of effector proteins such as interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and Mx proteins, thereby exerting sustained antiviral effects. Peginterferon alfa-2a is applicable to research on virus infections associated with chronic hepatitis C and chronic hepatitis B.

Turoctocog alfa pegol is a recombinant coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) from chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Turoctocog alfa pegol can be used for researching haemophilia A.

Tanfanercept (HL036337) is an TNF-α receptor fusion protein that targets TNF-α. Tanfanercept is effective in ameliorating corneal erosions in a dry eye (DE) mouse model.

Imiglucerase is a recombinant human glucocerebrosidase that glucosylceramide to glucose and ceramide. Imiglucerase can be used for the study of type 1 (non-neuronopathic) and type 3 (chronic neuronopathic) Gaucher's disease.
