Not all neoantigens are created equal

Drug Target Review

These neoantigens are identified by T cells of the immune system as foreign proteins and thus trigger an immune response. Neoantigens are recognised as non-self and trigger an immune response. These are known as subclonal or branch mutations, as they represent the ‘branches’ of the cancer’s evolutionary tree.

The potential of CD24 in cancer immunotherapy

Drug Target Review

This interaction inhibits inflammation and immune activation, and in particular prevents macrophages from phagocytosing and destroying cancer cells. By blocking CD24 with an antibody drug, our goal is to powerfully reactivate the anti-cancer immune response and drive therapeutic efficacy.
