    摘要: An active form (BY-001) of a homomultimeric chimeric protein PD-L1/Fc-gamma1 may have a composition of 25% dimer, 30% tetramer and 45% hexamer. BY-001 consists of two distinct functional domains at the aggregated state, one is the extracellular domain of PD-L1 and another one is the IgG1 Fc region. Accordingly, the first functional domain of PD-L1 at its aggregated state is more effective in suppressing the activity of CD3+ and CD28+ T cells; while, on the other hand, the second functional domain of FC-gamma1 at its aggregated state exerts only the suppressive effects on the immune cell bearing the Fc-gamma receptors. Thus, the features provided in present invention indicate that BY-001 regulates the functions of immune cells subsets that are responsible for the peripheral immune tolerance, which makes BY-001 potential to help restore or maintain the peripheral immune tolerance in patients with autoimmune diseases or in recipients of allografts.
