Abstract
Background
A scavenger receptor CLEVER-1 is highly expressed on tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) and mediates the clearance of “unwanted” self-components. Pre-clinical studies demonstrate that CLEVER-1 inhibition increases TAM pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and antigen presentation reactivating CD8+ T cell responses with robust anti-tumor activity (Viitala et al., 2019). Targeting CLEVER-1 could overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and has led to the development of FP-1305, a humanized anti-CLEVER-1 IgG4-antibody.
