Among them, the E35D variant significantly destabilized the TGF-β1 protein structure, resulting in rearrangement in the binding site and affecting the interactions with the Fresolimumab. This study identified four variants that can affect the TGF-β1 protein structure and result in functional consequences such as impaired response to Fresolimumab.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
BA more effectively blocks TGF-β by targeting TGF-β trap to the tumor via PD-L1 binding. Such colocalized targeting elicits distinct and superior antitumor responses relative to single agent combination therapy.
