Article Synopsis
- - Regulatory CD8 T cells (CD8 Treg) usually help control harmful CD4 T cells, but in autoimmune diseases, they often fail, partly due to inhibitory receptors that limit their activation.
- - A new bispecific antibody called MTX-101 targets these inhibitory receptors and CD8 T cells to enhance the ability of CD8 Treg to eliminate pathogenic CD4 T cells in various experimental models.
- - In studies, MTX-101 improved CD8 Treg activity, reduced harmful CD4 T cell expansion, and protected tissues from damage without triggering excessive inflammation, showing promise for treating autoimmune disorders.
