SLC-3010 is the only IL-2 asset that can suppress the Tregs while stimulating the CD8 T and NK cells. This unique MoA is called ‘Triple Action’, and it is achieved by the non-covalency between IL-2 and TCB2.
Initially, SLC-3010 delivers the selective IL-2 signaling to the CD8 T and NK cells, which is same as most of the IL-2 assets (1st Action).
After the initial stimulation, the TCB2 is departed from SLC-3010 while the IL-2 is internalized through endocytosis.
The ‘Free TCB2’ can bind to the endogenous IL-2 that is increased in the activated immune system, and it minimizes the exposure of endo-IL-2 to the Tregs (2nd Action).
Consequently, the complex of endogenous IL-2 and TCB2 can again deliver selective IL-2 signals to the CD8 T and NK cells (3rd Action).
