About 欧洲杯买球网APP

欧洲杯买球网APP is a hexavalent OX40 agonistic antibody with best-in-class potential. 欧洲杯买球网APP has shown impressive anti-tumor efficacy as monotherapy in pre-clinical models compared to conventional bivalent antibodies and has the potential to translate clinically. OX40, also known as CD134, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family and is an important co-stimulator of T cell responses. Typically for TNF receptor family members, 3 molecules of OX40 bind to the trimeric OX40 ligand protein, activating downstream NF-κB, PI3K, and AKT pathways, which ultimately leads to increased cytokine production and is associated with enhanced T-cell expansion, differentiation, and the generation of long-lived memory T-cells.
