About 欧洲杯买球网APP
欧洲杯买球网APP is a hexavalent OX40 agonistic antibody with a unique “first-in-class” design. The special design of 欧洲杯买球网APP allows for efficient OX40 agonism even in the absence of exogenous cross-linking. 欧洲杯买球网APP induces much strong immune activation compared to tetrameric or conventional bivalent OX40 antibodies, it has demonstrated impressive single agent anti-tumor efficacy and great synergy with anti-PD1/PD-L1 agents in preclinical models. 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.
