Two novel human anti-CD25 antibodies with antitumor activity inversely related to their affinity and in vitro activity

Scientific Reports, 2021
High tumor regulatory T (Treg) cell infiltration is associated with poor prognosis of many cancers. CD25 is highly expressed on tumor Treg cells and is a potential target for Treg deletion.
