- Cimeio Therapeutics, a biotechnology company leading the field of epitope shielding, is presenting data for its CD52 program during this week’s Annual Meeting of the American Society of Cell & Gene Therapy (ASGCT) in Baltimore.
- The abstract is titled “Molecular Shielding of CD52 Retains Expression, Anti-Phagocytic Don’t Eat Me Function and Protects from Alemtuzumab-Mediated Depletion.”
The study is the first showing that T cells expressing an engineered CD52 can be effectively shielded from Alemtuzumab-mediated depletion, while maintaining the general features of this receptor. - Cimeio's research team also showed for the first time that CD52 mediates an anti-phagocytotic ‘Don’t Eat Me’ signal, which is retained by the engineering.
- “We are excited to explore the full potential of our engineered CD52 receptor in the future.
