Anti-GARP Monoclonal Antibodies for Cancer Therapy
TS-057778 —
A novel monoclonal antibody (PIIO-1) to be used in combination with immune-checkpoint blockers. PIIO-1 augments CD8+ T cells-induced anti-tumor immunity and overcomes ICB resistance by disrupting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), the center of a pathway significantly implicated in solid tumors and hematological malignancies. PIIO-1 inhibits TGFβ locally via a docking receptor, avoiding adverse and unforeseen side effects.
Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has emerged as a promising cancer immunotherapy, a majority of tumors fail to respond to ICB. A potential mechanism driving this failed response is the accumulation of TGF-β1 in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which drives immune dysfunction by indu…

Potential uses of IgG Fc for treating human diseases
TS-036778 —
Infectious diseases present a problem for treatment, with concerns for the overuse of antibiotic medicine, inefficiency of modern medicines, and a need in the market for novel technologies that will target and work in conjunction with the host immune system, rather than depending on external mecha…

Anti-NCL Immunoagent for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy
TS-015251 — Nucleolin (NCL) is up-regulated in cancer cells, and modulates pro-tumorigenic pathways and chemoresistance. This anti-NCL agent binds and blocks NCL signaling, and may be optimized as cancer therapeutic and diagnostic tool.
Despite huge advancements in detection and treatment, cancer remains a top world health concern. One of the major limitations of current technology is adequately detecting tumor margins and micrometastases. Even with aggressive tumor resection and adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy, tumor cells…
