Immunopharmacology Comments
The CLEC12A protein is a negative regulator of granulocyte and monocyte function [2,4]. In vitro analyses indicate that CLEC12A may not act as a bona fide carbohydrate-sensitive pattern recognition receptor [7]. Studies using human cells suggests that CLEC12A synergises with signals from other receptors to facilitate dendritic cell (DC) responses, an action that modulates functions including DC migration and T cell activation.
CLEC12A is recognised as a novel prognostic and therapeutic marker of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) [1,6]. It is not expressed on normal early hematopoietic progenitors (including hematopoietic stem cells), so offers a highly selective target for AML immuno-oncology. One agent in the pharma pipeline is tepoditamab [5], a bispecific monoclonal antibody that binds both CLEC12A (on AML cells) and CD3 (on cytotoxic T cells), and which is expected to eradicate both AML blasts and their progenitors, to provide a more effective outcome for AML patients.

General Comments
The CLEC12A protein is a myeloid cell surface antigen that is regarded as a marker of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stem cells [1,6], and as a novel target for the treatment of AML.
