Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Sabatolimab (MBG-453) is an anti-TIM3 (HAVCR2) monoclonal antibody [1-2], that was developed as a leukemia immunotherapy. It binds to TIM3 on myeloid cells, blocking the interaction between TIM3 and its endogenous ligands PtdSer/galectin 9. This action blocks TIM3's function as an immune co-inhibitory receptor, and promotes an immune response against neoplastic myeloid cells.
