Deskripsi

ABSTRACTThe immunocytokine PD1-IL2v was designed to overcome liabilities and improve efficacy of IL-2 therapies. PD1-IL2v preferentially targets PD-1+ T-cells and acts on antigen-specific stem-like PD-1+ TCF-1+ CD8+ T-cells expanding and differentiating them towards better effectors resulting in superior efficacy in LCMV chronic infection and tumor models compared to checkpoint inhibition.
