A humanized anti-MSLN×4-1BB bispecific antibody exhibits potent antitumour activity through 4-1BB signaling activation and fc function without systemic toxicity by Da-yan Zhang, Zhi-hua Zhang, Wen-ting Liu, Wei-ming Zhou, Peng-fei Zhou, Juan-juan Wei, Xue-jing Dai, Xiao-li Zeng, Yu-qiong Zhou, Han-wang Li, Heng Zhang, Ao-lin Shen, Lian-sheng Cheng, Guo-dong Shen, Yi-fu He

“…Conclusion The optimal anti-MSLN×4-1BB bsAb HK013-G1 exhibited synergistic antitumour effects by inducing an ADCC effect (innate immunity) and stimulating the 4-1BB signaling pathway (adaptive immunity) upon cross-bridging with MSLN with no systemic toxicity, which may offer the promise of an improved therapeutic window relative to that of 4-1BB agonists.…”

Apaf-1 is an evolutionarily conserved DNA sensor that switches the cell fate between apoptosis and inflammation by Jie Ruan, Xuxia Wei, Suizhi Li, Zijian Ye, Linyi Hu, Ru Zhuang, Yange Cao, Shaozhou Wang, Shengpeng Wu, Dezhi Peng, Shangwu Chen, Shaochun Yuan, Anlong Xu

“…Although Apaf-1 structurally resembles animal NOD-like receptor (NLR) and plant resistance (R) proteins, whether it is directly involved in innate immunity is still largely unknown. Here, we found that Apaf-1-like molecules from lancelets, fruit flies, mice, and humans have conserved DNA sensing functionality. …”
