Anti-trem2 antibodies and methods of use thereof

a technology of anti-trem2 and antibodies, which is applied in the field of anti-trem2 and anti-dap12 antibodies, can solve the problems of a 3 fold increase in the risk of developing alzheimer's disease, the loss of function of trem2, and the effect of carrying these mutations is just as serious, so as to induce antigen-specific t-cell proliferation, reduce the expression of tnf-, and increase the expression of c-

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Some of these mutations lead to truncation and likely loss-of-function of TREM2.
Although these TREM2 mutations are rarer than the known risk variants of Alzheimer's disease (e.g., APOE4), the effect of carrying these mutations is just as serious; around a 3 fold increase in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Moreover, even individuals without Alzheimer's disease who carry a heterozygous TREM2 mutation show worse cognition as compared to individuals with two normal TREM2 alleles.
The presence of M2-macrophages in tumors is associated with poor prognosis.
