Temporal changes within the (bladder) tumor microenvironment that accompany the therapeutic effects of the immunocytokine NHS-IL12

ConclusionsThese findings provide strong evidence that the systemic administration of an immunocytokine consisting of a tumor-targeting Ig through recognition of DNA and DNA-histone complexes coupled to muIL-12 can effectively target the bladder TME; this significantly reduces the myeloid cellular compartment and reverts an immunosuppressive to an immunopermissive TME, ultimately resulting in antitumor effects. These studies provide further rationale for the employment of NHS-IL12 as an immunomodulator and clinical immunotherapeutic for NMIBC.
