IMM47, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets CD24, exhibits exceptional anti-tumor efficacy by blocking the CD24/Siglec-10 interaction and can be used as monotherapy or in combination with anti-PD1 antibodies for cancer immunotherapy.

This study evaluates the anti-tumor mechanism of IMM47, a humanized anti-CD24 mAb. Biolayer interferometry, ELISA and flow cytometry methods were used to measure the IMM47 binding, affinity, ADCC, ADCP, ADCT and CDC activities. therapeutical efficacy was measured in transplanted mouse models. IMM47 significantly binds granulocytes but not human erythrocytes and blocks CD24's ability to bind to Siglec-10. IMM47 has strong ADCC, ADCT and ADCP activity against REH cells. IMM47's pharmacodynamics showed that IMM47 has strong anti-tumor effects in human siglec-10 transgenic mouse models with a memory immune response. IMM47 also has powerful synergistic therapeutic efficacy when combined with Tislelizumab, Opdivo and Keytruda, by blocking CD24/Siglec-10 interaction through macrophage antigen presentation with strong ADCC, ADCP, ADCT and CDC activities and with a safe profile. IMM47 binding to CD24 is independent of N-glycosylation modification of the extracellular domain.
