| Immunopharmacology Comments |
| ILDR2 has been identified as a novel inhibitory T cell immune checkpoint protein that belongs to the B7-like protein family [2]. It exhibits negative regulatory effects on human and mouse T cells in a number of experimental systems. Its counterpart receptor expressed on activated T cells has not been definitively identified. ILDR2 expression in increased in patient-derived inflamed tissues (samples from ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease patients). An ILDR2-Fc fusion protein ameliorates disease markers of rheumatoid arthritis in the collagen-induced arthritis mouse model, and in the multiple sclerosis EAE model [6] indicating the potential for pharmacological intervention at this novel immune checkpoint. Bayer are developing their anti-ILDR2 antibody BAY1905254 for immuno-oncology potential (see Phase 1 study NCT03666273). BAY1905254 enhances antigen-specific T cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, and anti-tumour activity has been observed in preclinical studies [4]. |
| General Comments |
| ILDR2 is one of a family of three 'angulin' proteins [5]: angulin-1 (LSR), angulin-2 (ILDR1) and angulin-3 (ILDR2). The angulins are involved in tricellulin recruitment and formation of tricellular tight-gap junctions that are important to the maintenance of epithelial barrier integrity [1,3,7-8]. |
