Levels of LTbR (Lymphotoxin beta Recpeptor) on TAM (Tumor Associated Macrophage) inversely correlate with anti-tumor response, indicating an immunosuppresive role. This Chinese research group demonstrate that disrupting this expression in mice by silencing or knockout causes tumor regression in a mouse lung carcinoma model. “LTBR acts as a novel immune checkpoint of tumor-associated macrophages for […]

This Korean research group screened mAbs generated against Multiple Myeloma and developed a mAb (clone NPB15) specific to an epitope of CD98 present on stem and cancer cells, but not on CD98 presented by more differentiated tissues. They demonstrated the therapeutic potential of this mAb. “A monoclonal antibody recognizing CD98 on human embryonic stem cells

Co incubation with this NK cell line inhibited CD4

Ancell mAbs were used by this Cal State Research group to block trogocytic killing of Triconomas Vaginelas parasite by human PLB-95 Neutrophil-Like-cells in vitro. Blocking CD11c and CD18 receptors on NLC with antibodies resulted in significant reduction of killing, implicting CR3 mediated complement fixation as the primary mechanism. “Complement receptor 3 is required for maximum
