A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240025997A1) discloses a binding agent designed to target human immunoglobulin-like transcript 2 (ILT2) and human immunoglobulin-like transcript 4 (ILT4). The binding agent comprises an antigen-binding domain with specific sequences for both ILT2 and ILT4. The patent details the amino acid sequences of the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region that make up the antigen-binding domain, providing multiple variations for each region to target ILT2 and ILT4 effectively. Additionally, the patent covers various properties and applications of the binding agent, including its use as an antibody, recombinant antibody, chimeric antibody, or humanized antibody, among others. The binding agent is also described to have potential therapeutic applications in cancer treatment by disrupting the interaction between ILT2 and ILT4 with MHC Class I molecules, inhibiting their activity, and enhancing immune responses against tumors.

Furthermore, the patent outlines methods for using the binding agent in disrupting ILT2 and ILT4 activities, inhibiting tumor growth, enhancing immune responses, and treating various types of cancer, such as mesothelioma, glioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, and breast cancer. The patent also suggests combination therapies involving the binding agent and additional therapeutic agents, such as anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibodies, to improve treatment outcomes. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive overview of the binding agent's design, properties, and potential applications in cancer therapy, highlighting its role in modulating immune responses and targeting specific immune checkpoints to combat cancer effectively.
