doi: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-24-0190
Figure Lengend Snippet: Botensilimab enhances T-cell responsiveness independent of FcγRIIIA allele status and reduces Treg frequency. A, Binding of botensilimab, IgG1 variant of botensilimab (parental IgG1), or aglycosylated IgG1 N297A isotype negative control antibody to CHO cells expressing FcγRIIIA V158 or F158 by flow cytometry. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity. B, Signaling through FcγRIIIA V158 and FcγRIIIA F158 in Jurkat cells expressing FcγRs upstream of an NFAT-dependent luciferase reporter, cocultured with CTLA-4–expressing cells and botensilimab, parental IgG1, IgG1 DLE isotype, or IgG1 isotype. Luciferase expression shown as relative light units (RLU). C, Schematic depicting botensilimab binding to CTLA-4–expressing T cells and coengaging FcγRIIIA-expressing APC or (NK cells to create an immune synapse). D, IL2 secretion from SEA-stimulated healthy donor PBMC from FcγRIIIA homozygote V/V 158, FcγRIIIA heterozygote V/F 158, and FcγRIIIA homozygote F/F 158 donors treated with botensilimab, parental IgG1, or IgG1 DLE isotype. E, IL10, soluble CD25 (sCD25), and TGFβ1 secretion from SEA-stimulated PBMC treated with 5 μg/mL botensilimab, parental IgG1, or IgG1 DLE . FcγRIIIA heterozygote V/F 158 donor shown. F, Treg (CD3 + CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 + ) frequencies from SEA-stimulated healthy donor PBMCs treated with 5 μg/mL of botensilimab, parental IgG1, or IgG1 DLE by flow cytometry ( n = 4 donors). G, Dye-labeled and caspase 3/7–stained primary CD4 + FOXP3 + Tregs or ( H ) conventional CD4 + T cells cocultured at a 1:1 ratio with FcγRIIIA-expressing NK-92 cells treated with indicated antibodies. Values measured by live imaging using confocal microscopy ( n = 3). Data are represented as mean ± SEM ( A , B , and D–G ). Data analyzed by two-way ANOVA ( A , B , D , and F–H ) or one-way ANOVA ( E ), all followed by the Tukey multiple comparisons test.
Article Snippet: InVivoPlus grade isotype control (clone MPC-11, mIgG2b) and mouse reactive anti–PD-1 (RMP1-14; Rat IgG2a, κ) were obtained from Bio X Cell.
