Development of Next-Generation Immunomodulatory Antibodies for Cancer Therapy through Optimization of the IgG Framework

Cancer Cell. 2015 Sep 14;28(3):273-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2015.08.008.

Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Dahan and colleagues demonstrate that the Fc region has a significant impact on the therapeutic capacity of checkpoint inhibitor antibodies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in pre-clinical tumor models. This work provides important insights with respect to the further clinical development of checkpoint inhibitors.
