A CTLA-4 Antagonizing DNA Aptamer with Antitumor Effect
The successful translation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) blockade has revolutionized the concept of cancer immunotherapy. Although monoclonal antibody therapeutics remain the mainstream in clinical practice, aptamers are synthetic oligonucleotides that encompass antibody-mimicking functions. Here, we report a novel high-affinity CTLA-4-antagonizing DNA aptamer (dissociation const...
متن کاملPotent induction of tumor immunity by combining tumor cryoablation with anti-CTLA-4 therapy.
Thermal ablation to destroy tumor tissue may help activate tumor-specific T cells by elevating the presentation of tumor antigens to the immune system. However, the antitumor activity of these T cells may be restrained by their expression of the inhibitory T-cell coreceptor CTLA-4, the target of the recently U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved antibody drug ipilumimab. By relieving this ...
متن کاملSynergistic Effect of CTLA-4 Blockade and Cancer Chemotherapy in the Induction of Anti-Tumor Immunity
Several chemotherapeutics exert immunomodulatory effects. One of these is the nucleoside analogue gemcitabine, which is widely used in patients with lung cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, mesothelioma and several other types of cancer, but with limited efficacy. We hypothesized that the immunopotentiating effects of this drug are partly restrained by the inhibitory T cell molecule CTLA-4 a...
متن کاملScreening and antitumor effect of an anti-CTLA-4 nanobody
Cytotoxic T‑lymphocyte antigen‑4 (CTLA‑4) is a critical negative regulator of immune responses. CTLA‑4 is rapidly upregulated following T‑cell activation, and then binds to B7 molecules with a higher affinity than CD28. CTLA‑4 may abolish the initiation of the responses of T cells by raising the threshold of signals required for full activation of T cells, and it also may terminate ongoing T-ce...
متن کاملThe Availability of a Functional Tumor Targeting T-Cell Repertoire Determines the Anti-Tumor Efficiency of Combination Therapy with Anti-CTLA-4 and Anti-4-1BB Antibodies
It has previously been found that combination therapy with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-4-1BB antibodies may enhance tumor immunity. However, this treatment is not efficient against all tumors, and it has been suggested that variations in tumor control may reflect differences in the immunogenicity of different tumors. In the present report, we have formally tested this hypothesis. Comparing the efficie...
