A Novel PD1-CD40 Bispecific Antibody YH008 Induces Potent Anti-tumor Activity in-vivo by PD1 Dependent Activation of CD40 Signaling
Immunotherapies that target PD1/PDL1 pathway have marked a new era of cancer therapy. Combinatorial treatment of inhibiting PD1/PDL1 signaling and other immunomodulating agents has been widely tested and validated as a better strategy compared to single agent treatment. CD40 (TNFRSF5) is a member of the TNFR super family, a key T cell co-stimulatory signal critical for B-cell maturation and immunoglobulin class switching.
