Abstract

Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) has recently been identified as the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor. Upon stimulation of TLR4 with LPS, a Th1 type cytokine response is observed. This immune modulation is thought to have a potential benefit in anti-tumor therapy. We have generated a TLR4 antibody agonist (5D24.D4) that mimics the action of the natural ligand. 5D24.D4 and LPS stimulation of TLR4 leads to a similar response, including IL-8 secretion, activation of NF-kB-mediated transcription, and the induced expression of an overlapping set of target genes. 5D24.D4 may be beneficial as an adjuvant anti-tumor therapy.
