This study was aimed to prepare and identify human monoclonal antibody against IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP), which is a new identified surface marker for leukemia stem cell (LSC), BALB/c mice were immunized with recombinant hu-IL1RAP and the spleen cells from immunized mice were fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells by conventional hybridoma technique. Positive hybridoma cells were selected and cultured. ELISA and Western blot were used to detect the type, titer and sensitivity of antibody. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated and used to test the antibody specificity. The results showed that 8 hybridoma cell lines able to stably secrete IL1RAP monoclonal antibodies were obtained and named 3H6E10, 4B6A6, 8G11B5, 9E9F2, 10D8A7, 1C7H7, 1D7G11 and 2D3D3 respectively. These monoclonal antibodies belonging to IgG1/κ type could specifically bind to IL1RAP from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. It is concluded that the hybridoma cell lines with stable secretion of IL1RAP monoclonal antibodies is successfully constructed, thus providing novel ways to effectively clear LSC in the future.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now first-line therapy for most patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC), and cetuximab is most often used as subsequent therapy. However, data describing cetuximab efficacy in the post-ICI setting are limited.
Methods: We performed a single-institution retrospective analysis of patients with R/M HNSCC treated with cetuximab, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, after receiving an ICI.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a clinically aggressive subtype of breast cancer that remains an unmet medical need. Because TNBC cells do not express the most common markers of breast cancers, there is an active search for novel molecular targets in triple-negative tumors. Additionally, this subtype of breast cancer presents strong immunogenic characteristics which have been encouraging the development of immunotherapeutic approaches against the disease.

Background: Nemolizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against interleukin-31 receptor A (IL-31RA), is used to treat atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis. These inflammatory skin diseases affect a wide range of age groups, including pregnant women and children; however, little is known about their biological effects on pre- and postnatal development. Therefore, we report and discuss the results of an enhanced pre- and postnatal development study in cynomolgus monkeys treated with nemolizumab, which also incorporates an assessment of juvenile toxicities.

Among alternative splicing events affecting extracellular protein domains, the most pervasive alteration was the skipping of ≤30 nucleotide-long microexons. Several of these skipped microexons mapped to L1-IgCAM family members, such as .

To address this challenge, there is an increasing focus on developing and evaluating new technologies to enhance the "design" and "test" phases of antibody-based drugs (e.g.
