  • 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: 20230257459
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition containing, as active ingredients, a fusion protein dimer including an IL-2 protein or a variant thereof and a CD80 protein or a fragment thereof, and an immune checkpoint inhibitor is disclosed. The fusion protein containing an CD80 fragment, an Fc domain of an immunoglobulin, and an IL-2 variant can activate immune cells such as natural killer cells as well as control the immune cell regulatory activity of regulatory T cells. In addition, the combined administration of the fusion protein and an immune checkpoint inhibitor such as Keytruda known as a PD-1 inhibitor can effectively inhibit cancer. Therefore, a pharmaceutical composition containing, as active ingredients, the fusion protein dimer and an immune checkpoint inhibitor can be effectively applied to the treatment of cancer and has high industrial applicability.
