Harnessing Innate Immunity: F9H4, A Substrate-Specific Strategy to Unlock Fc-Enabled Therapeutics
The efficacy of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in oncology often hinges on their ability to engage innate immune effector cells, primarily Natural Killer (NK) cells and macrophages, through the Fc gamma receptor IIIa (CD16a). This engagement triggers...

Multiantigen T Cell Engagers (MATCH): A New Frontier in Treating Pediatric Leukemia
Introduction
Despite advances in immunotherapy, relapse remains a major hurdle in B-cell malignancies, particularly due to immune evasion through antigen loss. While CD19- and CD20-targeted immunotherapies have transformed treatment paradigms, they are prone...
