Harnessing the CD24/Siglec-10 pathway: immunotherapy innovation

Drug Target Review

While its involvement in the do-not-eat-me signal from cancer has inspired therapeutic development of this pathway for oncology, the function of the innate immune checkpoint we identified in 2009 1 extends to both innate and adaptive immune responses. CD24 and Siglec-10 Selectively Repress Tissue Damage-Induced Immune Responses.

Researchers Identify Novel Immunotherapeutic Compound Targeting Key Cancer Pathway

PerkinElmer

These cells overexpress PD-L1, leading to inhibition of cytotoxic T-cells by binding to the PD-1 receptor on activated T-cells, and subsequent evasion of an immune response. To date, the only FDA approved immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway are monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
