Immunopharmacology Ligand
Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Lusvertikimab (OSE-127) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the alpha chain of the interleukin 7 receptor (CD127; IL7R). It antagonises IL-7R signalling by T effector cells, thus down regulating their contribution to the immune response. It was proposed to treat autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection and as an immuno-oncology candidate [2,5]. It is likely one of the candidates claimed in patent WO2015189302 [4].
