Cotransfer of the Eαd and Aβd genes into L cells results in the surface expression of a functional mixed-isotype Ia molecule [PDF]

, 1986
Ia molecules play a key role in antigen recognition by T lymphocytes. To analyze the structural features of the individual α and β chains relevant to the assembly of intact Ia molecules, mouse fibroblasts were contransfected with various combinations of ...

Dendrimer Conjugates with PD‐L1‐Binding Peptides Enhance In Vivo Antitumor Immune Response

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this paper, a novel nanoparticle scaffold composed of dendrimers conjugated with peptide‐based immune checkpoint inhibitors, enhancing drug delivery efficacy is introduced. By conjugating PD‐L1‐binding peptides to dendrimers, multivalent binding effects are harnessed, resulting in enhanced binding affinity, prolonged half‐life, and improved ...
