Our approach is based on the development of therapeutic antibodies designed to stimulate the antitumor activity of immune system cells - not only to induce tumor elimination by innate immune system cells, but also to trigger a multicellular immune response leading to sustained tumor control.
Monoclonal antibodiesCheck-point inhibitorsCancer cells have the ability to produce molecules that inhibit how NK cells function, leading to tumor escape. Monoclonal antibodies blocking inhibitory checkpoint receptors to prevent NK cell inactivation by tumor cells Cytotoxic antibodiesMonoclonal antibodies directed against tumor antigens activate cells of the innate immune system, such as NK cells, and trigger an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), via NK cell activating receptors, such as CD16. | |
NK Cell EngagersNK cell engagers are molecules composed of antibody fragments specific to NK cells, designed to engage them against tumors. | |
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC)ADCs are able to bring cytotoxic molecules (toxins) within the cancer cells by using antibodies as a carrier. |
