As the name implies, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are antibodies made from cloned cells derived from single-parent cells and therefore share the same amino acid sequence. Multiple myeloma is a relatively common blood cancer, and Osaka University in Japan has developed a new type of immunotherapy to treat this disease.

CAR T- සෛල චිකිත්සාව
Molecules sufficient to induce an immune response to produce antibodies-cancer-specific mutations of cell surface proteins are excellent targets. However, mAb therapy against this antigen is impractical because these proteins have great diversity within and between individual tumors, which makes it difficult to identify new cancer-specific target antigens. However, researchers centered on Osaka University in Japan have discovered cancer-specific antigens formed by protein modification, such as glycosylation (the connection of the sugar moiety to the protein) or conformational changes. The research team believes that the new epitope is part of the antigen recognized by immune cells, and can be found by thoroughly searching for cancer-specific mAbs and identifying the antigens it recognizes. figure 2. Overview of CAR T සෛල චිකිත්සාව. Source: Osaka University “We applied this strategy to identify new therapeutic targets for multiple myeloma (MM), Naoki Hosen, the study’s lead author, recently published in Nature Medicine.” Despite progress in MM treatment, relapses continue Is common, so new treatments are needed, including mAb-based treatments. The research team screened more than 10,000 anti-MM mAb clones and identified MMG49 as a mAb that specifically recognizes integrin β7, a cell surface receptor that promotes cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. MMG49 reacts with MM cells , But there are no other bone marrow cell types in the MM patient samples. This prompted the researchers to design a CAR fused with the MMG49 fragment. The MMG49 CAR T produced was found to have an anti-MM effect without destroying normal blood cells. “Our results also show that The active conformation of integrin β7 can be used as an immunotherapy target for MM, ”said study co-author Yukiko Matsunaga. Therefore, even if the expression of the protein itself is not cancer-specific, there are still other cancer immunotherapy targets in many cell surface proteins These targets have not yet been discovered in conformational changes, which is very reasonable.
