Press Release
Shattuck Labs Announces Preclinical Proof of Concept Study on Gamma Delta T Cell Engager, GADLEN™, Platform at SITC 2020
The presentation demonstrates that a mouse butyrophilin heterodimer can activate mouse gamma delta T cells in vitro and in vivo to target the killing of lymphoma cells expressing the CD19 antigen. Additionally, the human heterodimeric fusion protein BTN2A1/3A1-Fc-CD19scFv, has also demonstrated its ability to bind both the V9V2 on gamma delta T cells and CD19 on lymphoma cells.
“In vivo manipulation of gamma delta T cells holds great promise for treating cancers that are resistant or refractory to immune checkpoint blockade, however technical challenges have hindered this therapeutic goal until recently,” said
The poster presentation will be available under the Events & Presentations section of the Company’s website.
