  • 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.
