Rockville, MD. Rise Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing first-in-class targeted immunological-based biologics using a unique and proprietary oral delivery platform, highlighted today a new publication in the journal Science that highlights mechanisms by which the microbiota engage host immune pathways to improve immunotherapy. The article examines recent pre-clinical studies that found that the peptidoglycan hydrolase Secrete Antigen A (SagA) is able to promote immunotherapy responses and synergize with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) to drive tumor regression in animal model studies.
