Abstract
Leukocyte immunoglobulin like receptor B1 (LILRB1) is widely expressed in immune cells as an immunosuppressive receptor. Tumor cells highly express the ligand HLA-G, which inhibits the function of immune cells by binding to LILRB1, to achieve immune escape. LILRB1 is a potential immunotherapeutic target. This study developed a monoclonal antibody named B1M023 (B1M023 mAb) that could bind LILRB1 with high affinity at both protein and cellular levels, while not bind to other leukocyte immunoglobulin like receptors (LILRs). Moreover, B1M023 mAb could block the binding of LILRB1 to HLA-G, promote activation and IFN-γ secretion of T cells. These results indicate that B1M023 mAb has potential applications in concomitant diagnosis and tumor immunotherapy.
