Biological Activity

[Description]:

Envafolimab (ASC 22; KN 035) is a recombinant protein of a humanized single-domain anti- PD-L1 antibody. Envafolimab is created by a fusion of the of anti-PD-L1 domain with Fc fragment of human IgG1 antibody. Envafolimab blocks interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1 with an IC50 value of 5.25 nm. Envafolimab shows antitumor activity. Envafolimab has the potential for the research of solid tumors[1][2][3].

[In Vitro]

Envafolimab (0-2.51 nM) induces T-cell cytokine (IFN-γ) production in a dose- and time-dependent manner[3].

[In Vivo]

Envafolimab (0.18-0.92 mg/kg; i.p.; four times over 2 weeks) shows antitumor activity with a half-life of ~72 h in NOD-SCID mice (A375 cells)[3].
