Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1. Synthetic immune cell checkpoint engagers (A) The use of the immune cell receptors LILRB1, LILRB3, TIM3, PD-1, and SIRPa for the protection of cell therapeutics against innate immune cell killing comes with different challenges related to their natural ligands. (B and C) The expression of LILRB1, LILRB3, TIM3, PD-1, and SIRPa on primary human NK cells and macrophages is shown (representative flow cytometry histograms, B; mean ± SD, n = 5, C). The percentage of positive cells is presented. (D) Synthetic immune cell checkpoint engagers with agonistic function were designed for LILRB1, LILRB3, TIM3, PD-1, and SIRPa. All engagers have specific binding domains for the immune cell receptors, are membrane-bound, and lack intracellular domains.
