Antibody Comments
The use of anti-CD14 monoclonal antibodies to treat viral infection is claimed in Implicit Bioscience's patent WO2018165720A1. Their clinical candidate IC14 which was derived from murine clone 28C5, is claimed in this patent.
Immunopharmacology Comments
Because of its key role in amplifying the immune response, CD14 was targeted for pharmacological modulation. Implicit Bioscience developed a first-in-class anti-CD14 monoclonal antbody (atibuclimab; IC14) as a clinical lead [6-7]. Atibuclimab was evaluated for immunomodulatory potential in ALS/MND and was explored for efficacy against acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis [1,4,7].

In April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Implicit initiated a clinical trial (NCT04346277) to investigate the potential of CD14 modulation as a mechanism to mitigate against cytokine storm and ARDS in patients with this potentially deadly disease. Atibuclimab was predicted to prevent CD14 from participating in the recognition of PAMPs and DAMPs that are generated during SARS-CoV-2 infection. A search of ClinicalTrials.gov in March 2024 revealed that the majority of atibuclimab studies had been terminated or withdrawn.

Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Click here for help
Cd14 knockout is not lethal. Cd14–/– mice infected with Gram‐negative bacteria appear less clinically ill than wild‐type controls, and have smaller bacterial burdens in organs (bone marrow, lungs and spleen). Cd14 deficiency confers resistance to endotoxin shock.

General Comments
CD14 acts as a scavenger receptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide. It is present as a phosphatidylinositol phospholipid anchored membrane protein and in circulating soluble form [5]. CD14 recognises LPS bound to lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP; HGNC 6517) and delivers it to the LY96/TLR4 complex, to amplify the inflammatory response to pathogens and to DAMPS. Engagement of the TLR pathway results in signals that prompt leukocyte recruitment, NF-κB activation and cytokine secretion.
