  • Publication number: 20210403580
    Abstract: An antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, which binds with a high pM-level affinity to a human IL-4 receptor alpha chain that is a human IL-4 receptor, is provided. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment has a different epitope and a different antigen dissociation rate than existing antibodies. A nucleic acid encoding the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a vector including the nucleic acid, a cell transformed with the vector, a method for producing the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a conjugate comprising the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a composition for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases, and a composition for diagnosing inflammatory diseases are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200276328
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting regulatory T cell immunosuppression, containing a fusion protein comprising a peptide that binds specifically to neuropilin 1 (NRP1). The fusion protein comprising the peptide that binds specifically to neuropilin 1 according to the present invention can reduce the proportion of regulatory T cells among CD4+ T cells in tumor tissue and inhibit the activity of regulatory T cells that infiltrated into tumor tissue, thereby down-regulating immunosuppression in the tumor tissue without causing systemic toxicity. Thus, the fusion protein can exhibit a high effect on tumor treatment.
