Abstract
We have engineered a novel fusion cytokine named GIFT4 derived from GM-CSF and IL-4, and displaying robust gain-of-function immunostimulatory effects on B cells. GIFT4-programmed B cells have a unique identity and potent capacity to elicit a tumoricidal - cell response, thus comprising a novel B cell-based cancer immunotherapeutic approach.Entities:
