NextCure Publishes Preclinical Data Demonstrating Function of FLRT3 as a T Cell Inhibitor in Science Advances

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, March 5, 2024

The publication details preclinical data evaluating the role of Fibronectin Leucine-Rich Transmembrane protein-3 (FLRT3) in the inhibition of T cell activity and the use of a monoclonal antibody to reverse these effects.

Key Points: 
  • The publication details preclinical data evaluating the role of Fibronectin Leucine-Rich Transmembrane protein-3 (FLRT3) in the inhibition of T cell activity and the use of a monoclonal antibody to reverse these effects.
  • These data demonstrate that cancer cells can exploit AGM protein-protein interactions to evade T cell anti-tumor immunity by acting as checkpoint inhibitors to suppress T cell responses and immune function.
  • Future studies will dissect the roles of membrane and soluble FLRT3 on T cell signaling through UNC5B, and downstream pathways.
  • The data were generated in collaboration with Dr. David Langenau at the Massachusetts General Hospital Research Institute’s Molecular Pathology and Cancer Center.
