CLEC-1 antagonist monoclonal antibodies have been identified as an innovative cancer immunotherapy that releases the brakes on macrophage phagocytosis and dendritic cells’ antigen presentation and demonstrates synergistic anti-cancer effects, in particular when paired with chemotherapy.
The identification of CLEC-1 and its antagonists constitute an exciting innovative step in cancer immunotherapy.
