AI Technical Summary
Current therapies fail to effectively activate immune cells to target and eliminate cancer cells due to the high expression of CD47 on tumor cells, which acts as an 'anti-phagocytic' signal, evading innate immune surveillance.
A SIRPa-4-1BBL fusion protein is developed, comprising a SIRPa amino acid sequence and a 4-1BBL amino acid sequence, capable of binding CD47 and activating the 4-1BB signaling pathway, thereby co-stimulating immune cells and enhancing phagocytosis of pathologic cells expressing CD47.
The SIRPa-4-1BBL fusion protein effectively targets and enhances the elimination of cancer cells by activating immune cells, including T cells and macrophages, within the tumor microenvironment, overcoming the immune evasion mechanisms employed by tumor cells.
