Biological Activity

Description

Ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) is an immunomodulatory monoclonal antibody directed against the cell surface antigen CTLA-4 and also a type of immune checkpoint inhibitor. MW : 148 kD.

Targets

CTLA-4 ^[1]
(Cell-free assay)

In vitro

Pembrolizumab plus ipilimumab and nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy have been approved by FDA for the first-line treatment of NSCLC patients.^[1]

In vivo

⁶⁴Cu-labeled ipilimumab may be used to noninvasively monitor CTLA-4-expressing tissues in vivo.^[2]

Protocol (Only for Reference)

Cell Assay:	For the intracellular cytokine analysis of TILs, cells from dissociated tumors in the density range of 1×10⁵ to 1×10⁶ cells were cultured in a 96-well U-bottom plate containing 10 µg/mL of pembrolizumab, 10 µg/mL of ipilimumab, soluble 50 ng/mL of anti-CD3, and 50 ng/mL of anti-CD28 for 24 h at 37°C, followed by the addition of brefeldin A and monensin. To measure interferon (IFN)-γ and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) secretion levels by CD8⁺ TILs according to PD-1 expression on anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 stimulation, the pre-incubation step without brefeldin A and monensin for 24 h was omitted. After 12 h, the cells were harvested and stained. Intracellular cytokines were stained after surface staining, fixation, and permeabilization with Foxp3 fixation/permeabilization solution.
Animal Study:	AnimalModels:Female athymic nude mice of human lung adenocarcinoma xenograft model Formulation:buffer-exchanged to PBS, and conjugated with DOTA for radiolabeling with ⁶⁴Cu (t1/2 = 12.7 h) Dosages:~1 mg/mL Administration:i.v.^[2]
