Epitope engineering shields HSCPs from CD123-targeted immunotherapy
Oct. 9, 2023
Finding suitable antigens for immunotherapy of myeloid malignancies, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is an urgent clinical need. Most AML candidate targets, including CD123, are co-expressed by hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSCPs), with the subsequent risk of myelosuppression associated with myeloid cell-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T therapy.
