Lymphocyte-activation gene 3, also known as LAG-3, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the LAG3 gene. [5] LAG3, which was discovered in 1990 [6] and was designated CD223 (cluster of differentiation 223) after the Seventh Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigen Workshop in 2000, [7] is a cell surface molecule with diverse biological effects on T cell function but overall has an immune ...
This checkpoint is the target of Merck & Co.'s melanoma drug Keytruda, which gained FDA approval in September 2014. The checkpoint is also the target of EMD Serono (Merck KGaA)'s drug Bavencio, which gained FDA approval in 2017. An advantage of targeting PD-1 is that it can restore immune function in the tumor microenvironment. [44] [38]
The receptor is an immune checkpoint and together with other inhibitory receptors including programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and lymphocyte activation gene 3 protein (LAG3) mediate the CD8+ T-cell exhaustion in terms of proliferation and secretion of cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-2.
An immune checkpoint regulator is a modulator of the immune system, that allows initiation of a productive immune response and prevents the onset of autoimmunity. Examples of such a molecule are cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4 or CD152), which is an inhibitory receptor found on immune cells and programmed cell death 1 (CD279), which has an important role in down-regulating the immune ...
The therapy targets immune checkpoints, key regulators of the immune system that when stimulated can dampen the immune response to an immunologic stimulus. Some cancers can protect themselves from attack by stimulating immune checkpoint targets. Checkpoint therapy can block inhibitory checkpoints, restoring immune system function. [1]
Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3 (LAG3), an inhibitory (checkpoint) receptor on immune system T-cells. LAG3 is the target of early-stage drugs for cancer and autoimmune disorders; IMP321 is a soluble version of LAG3, developed by Prima, while BMS-986016 (from Bristol Myers) and GSK2831781 (Glaxo) are anti-LAG3 monoclonal antibodies. CD224
The latency-associated peptide (LAP) noncovalently bounds TGF-β and can be expressed by many cells of the immune system. [9] In tumors T h 3 cells can express lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG3). T h 3 cells produce vast amounts of TGF-β and to a lesser degree also the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10 (IL-10).
Eftilagimod alpha (INN; [1] development code IMP321 or efti) is a large-molecule cancer drug being developed by the clinical-stage biotechnology company Immutep.Efti is a soluble version of the immune checkpoint molecule LAG-3.
