Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are one of the most remarkable immunomodulatory therapies of current times. Sabatolimab is a high-affinity, humanized anti-TIM-3 monoclonal antibody currently in development for patients with myeloproliferative disorders, including acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. By targeting TIM-3, a receptor expressed on various immune effector cells as well as myeloid cells, multiple mechanisms of action that are distinct from canonical immune checkpoint inhibitors are in play - (i) blockade of TIM-3 and its ligands PtdSer/galectin-9, (ii) modulation of leukemic cell self-renewal as well as (iii) antibody-dependent phagocytosis of TIM-3-expressing leukemic cells. Novel immunotherapies such as sabatolimab which enhance the antitumor immune response on converging fronts represent the promise of a continuously replenished armoury for the treatment of cancer.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Energy Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of materials, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology relevant to energy conversion and storage. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important energy applications.
