Figure Lengend Snippet: A Flow cytometry analysis of HB0038 and HB0039 binding to CHO-S cells stably overexpressing human CD73 protein. For clarity, “38” refers to HB0038 and “39” refers to HB0039 in subsequent references. Results represent two technical replicates from one of three independent experiments; data are presented as mean values ± SD. B Soluble CD73 activity inhibition by HB0038, HB0039, HB0045, Oleclumab, Mupadolimab, and AK119. Inhibition efficiency was calculated using Eq. as described in the Methods section. Results represent three technical replicates from one of three independent experiments; data are presented as mean values ± SD. C Membrane-bound CD73 activity inhibition by HB0038, HB0039, HB0045, Oleclumab, and lgG control. Inhibition efficiency was calculated using Eq. as described in the Methods section. mCD73: membrane-bound CD73. Results represent two technical replicates from one of three independent experiments; data are presented as mean values ± SD. D CD73 activity inhibition by HB0038, HB0039, and HB0045, CD73 MIX indicates a mixture of soluble and membrane-bound CD73. Inhibition efficiency was calculated using Eq. as described in the Methods section. Results represent two technical replicates from one of three independent experiments; data are presented as mean values ± SD. E , F Antibody-mediated proliferation in CD4 + and CD8 + T cells with dose-dependent HB0038, HB0039, or HB0045. Stim: anti-CD3 antibody + anti-CD28 antibody + IL-7. Workflow refers to Supplementary Fig. . Results represent two technical replicates from one of three independent experiments; data are presented as mean values ± SD.
Article Snippet: The latter strategy is utilized by several therapeutic antibodies, including Oleclumab (MEDI9447), which is currently in clinical Phase 3 development by AstraZeneca .
