SignificanceMesothelin (MSLN) is a cell-surface protein that is a popular target for antibody-based therapies. We have identified shed MSLN as a major obstacle to successful antibody therapies and prepared a monoclonal antibody that inhibits shedding and makes very active CAR T cells whose activity is not blocked by shed MSLN and merits further preclinical development.
意义间皮素(MSLN)是一种细胞表面蛋白,是抗体为基础的治疗的热门靶点。我们已经确定脱落的 MSLN 是成功的抗体治疗的主要障碍,并制备了一种单克隆抗体,抑制脱落,并使非常活跃的 CAR T 细胞,其活性不受脱落的 MSLN 阻断,并值得进一步的临床前开发。
