Innovent Biologics Inc. has presented preclinical data on IBI-3055, a trispecific T-cell engager for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. This trispecific antibody targets CD19, BCMA and CD3, and features an innovative 1+1+1 T-cell engager design with CD3 masking to minimize non-specific T-cell activation.
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2), predominantly expressed in bone marrow-derived cells or lymphoid tissues, is an essential regulator of immune homeostasis. TIPE2 acts as a key negative modulator of inflammatory signaling through the suppression of toll-like receptor (TLR) activity, with TIPE2-deficient mice exhibiting spontaneous systemic inflammation and premature death.
Invivyd Inc. has announced the discovery and advancement of VMS-063, a novel monoclonal antibody candidate for the treatment and prevention of measles.
