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).

mRNA Cancer Vaccines and Therapies: An Overview

Advarra

After injection of such a vaccine, the mRNA instructs cells to produce proteins designed to stimulate an immune response against these same protein targets when they show up in viruses or in tumor cells. Immunomodulatory Proteins Immunomodulators are molecules influencing the pathways regulating the body’s immune system activities.
