In Vitro Lefitolimod (MGN 1703) might foster innate and adaptive immune response and thus improve immune-mediated control of residual cancer disease[1]. Lefitolimod targets TLR9-positive pDCs and triggers their secretion of IFN-α to activate the effector cells of innate immunity subsequently leading to an elevated systemic level of IP-10, a chemotactic and angiostatic protein[2]. Lefitolimod (MGN1703) (1 μM; 48 h) stimulates cytokine secretion (interferon (IFN)-α, IFN-γ, interleukin (IL)-12, IL-6, and IL-2) and activates immune cells by increased expression of CD80, CD40, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR and ICAM-1[3].
In Vivo Lefitolimod (MGN1703) (2.5 and 60 μg/day; i.p.; daily for 7 days) raises IL-12p40 levels in mice sera without toxicity[3]. Animal Model: Female C57BL6 mice[3] Dosage: 2.5 and 60 μg/day Administration: Intraperitoneal injection, once daily for 7 days Result: Were able to raise IL-12p40 levels in mice sera.
