Anti-human CD40 monoclonal antibody therapy is potent without FcR crosslinking

Antibody agonists targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily receptors, including CD40, are being tested therapeutically as anticancer agents. Studies in mice have shown that anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (mAb) requires Fc-receptor (FcR) engagement to activate antitumor immunity. In contrast,...

Sumario:Antibody agonists targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily receptors, including CD40, are being tested therapeutically as anticancer agents. Studies in mice have shown that anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (mAb) requires Fc-receptor (FcR) engagement to activate antitumor immunity. In contrast, we have reported that clinically active anti-human CD40 mAb CP-870,893 does not require FcR crosslinking, a finding with translational implications.
