Antitumor activity of an immunocytokine composed of an anti-GD2 antibody and the IL-15 superagonist RLI

The use of interleukin (IL)-15 or the IL-15 superagonist RLI as immunological adjuvants presents many advantages over that of IL-2, including a reduced toxicity and an improved efficacy. We have generated an immunocytokine that specifically targets RLI to a tumor-associated antigen, namely, disialog...

Sumario:The use of interleukin (IL)-15 or the IL-15 superagonist RLI as immunological adjuvants presents many advantages over that of IL-2, including a reduced toxicity and an improved efficacy. We have generated an immunocytokine that specifically targets RLI to a tumor-associated antigen, namely, disialoganglioside GD2. This agent displayed robust antitumor activity in 2 syngeneic murine models of malignant disease.
