Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Domvanalimab (AB154) is an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody. It is designed to be 'Fc-silent' as a method to prevent depletiion of regulatory T cells (which would otherwise be promoted by Fc-mediated antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity). Silencing TIGIT has two functions. It negates the inhibitory action of TIGIT binding to poliovirus receptor (PVR, CD155) which blocks immune suppression, and it leaves PVR available to interact with the costimulatory DNAM-1 (CD226) molecule. The combined effects potentiate a natural killer (NK) cell and T cell-mediated anti-tumour immune response.
