Immunopharmacology Comments
Utomilumab acts as a 4-1BB (CD137) agonist, and effects immunotherapeutic modulation of T cells to improve cancer immuneosurveillance and antitumour immunity [1]. 4-1BB agonists may work by releasing the transcription factor eomesodermin from ThPOK repression in CD4 T cells [2].
