Monalizumab

Monalizumab is a first-in-class immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting Natural Killer Group 2A (NKG2A). Monalizumab, a humanized anti-NKG2A blocking mAb, increases IFN-γ production, thereby promoting NK cell effector functions. Monalizumab can be used for the research of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)[1][2].
