Abstract: In combination with conventional therapies (e.g. targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and angiogenesis inhibitors, etc.), immunotherapies targeting checkpoint molecules have shown promise in the treatment of solid or liquid tumors. However, the role of non-tumor cells in the intratumoral microenvironment has indicated that ablation of these cells may be a key to mounting an effective immune response against the tumor which includes tumor infiltration of cytotoxic T-cells and other anti-tumor cells of the immune system. Rather than focusing on trying to inhibit the ectonucleotidase activity of CD39 as an enzyme that generates adenosine, the present invention instead utilizes CD39 expression to bring about intratumoral cell ablation by CD39-depedent ADCC.
