Chimeric proteins for treating tumors and inflammatory diseases
The granted patent US12071465B2 outlines a novel method for treating tumors that express specific biomarkers, namely CSF1, CEACAM1, and galectin-9. The treatment involves the administration of two distinct chimeric proteins. The first chimeric protein consists of an extracellular domain of TIM3 linked to an extracellular domain of OX40L via a linker that includes at least one cysteine residue capable of forming a disulfide bond. The second chimeric protein comprises an extracellular domain of CSF1R linked to an extracellular domain of CD40L, also utilizing a similar linker structure. The claims specify that the order of administration of these chimeric proteins can vary, allowing for flexibility in treatment protocols.
Further details in the claims emphasize the structural requirements of the linkers and the extracellular domains, stipulating that they must exhibit at least 95% identity to specific amino acid sequences provided in the patent. The linkers may include flexible amino acid sequences or hinge regions from IgG4, with additional joining linkers potentially enhancing the structural integrity of the chimeric proteins. The patent also extends its application to the treatment of colon cancer, reiterating the same chimeric protein structures and administration methods. Overall, this patent presents a targeted therapeutic approach that leverages engineered proteins to potentially improve treatment outcomes for specific tumor types.
