Myeloid cells expressing LILRB2 are abundant in the tumor microenvironment and can both drive cancer progression and hinder immune responses. Thus, targeting LILRB2 offers a potential strategy to boost immune-based cancer therapies, as it counteracts their suppressive effects on pro-inflammatory pathways.
Researchers from Genequantum Healthcare (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. have presented the first preclinical data on GQ-1007, an antibody immune agonist conjugate (AIAC) targeting HER2, for the treatment of cancer. GQ-1007 is an anti-HER2 antibody conjugated via Genequantum’s highly stable linker and enzymatic conjugation technology to a Toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) agonist.
At the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s annual meeting, researchers from Tallac Therapeutics Inc. reported the discovery of TAC-003, a novel Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist and Nectin-4-specific antibody conjugate, being developed as cancer immunotherapy candidate.
Shares of Werewolf Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:HOWL) reflected enthusiasm on Wall Street for the prospect, albeit early stage, of systemically delivering a masked native interleukin-2 (IL-2) cytokine to cancer patients.
