  • Publication number: 20240058420
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer, containing, as active ingredients, a fusion protein including an IL-2 protein and a CD80 protein, and an anticancer agent. A fusion protein containing a CD80 fragment, an immunoglobulin Fc, and an IL-2 variant can activate immune cells such as natural killer cells, and at the same time, can control the immune cell regulatory activity of regulatory T cells. In addition, when an anticancer agent is administered in combination with the fusion protein, cancer can be effectively inhibited. Therefore, a pharmaceutical composition containing, as active ingredients, a fusion protein containing an IL-2 protein and a CD80 protein, and an anticancer agent can increase the immune activity in the body and can be effectively utilized not only for cancer but also for an infectious disease, and thus has high industrial potential.

  • Publication number: 20220257693
    Abstract: A modified IgE Fc receptor having a high content of sialic acid and a pharmaceutical composition contains the modified IgE Fc receptor are disclosed. The polypeptide dimer having a high content of sialic acid not only has excellent safety and persistence in a body as compared with conventionally used anti-IgE antibodies, but also shows strong binding to IgE. Thus, the polypeptide has the advantage of an extended administration cycle. The polypeptide dimer is also an IgE single target substance, and unlike conventional anti-IgE antibodies to which the Fc of IgG1 is applied, does not bind to an Fc gamma receptor. The polypeptide dimer can be usefully used for the prevention or treatment of allergic diseases.
