Structural mechanism of anti-MHC-I antibody blocking of inhibitory NK cell receptors in tumor immunity. Commun Biol, 9:-, 2026 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Anti-major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) mAbs can stimulate immune responses to tumors and infections by blocking suppressive signals delivered via various immune inhibitory receptors. To understand such functions, we determined the structure of a highly cross-reactive anti-human MHC-I mAb, B1.23.2, in complex with the MHC-I molecule HLA-B*44:05 by both cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and X-ray crystallography. Structural models determined by the two methods were essentially identical revealing that B1.23.2 binds a conserved region on the α2 helix that overlaps the killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) binding site. Structural comparison to KIR/HLA complexes reveals a mechanism by which B1.23.2 blocks inhibitory receptor interactions, leading to natural killer (NK) cell activation. B1.23.2 treatment of the human KLM-1 pancreatic cancer model in humanized (NSG-IL15) mice provides evidence of suppression of tumor growth. Such anti-MHC-I mAb that block inhibitory KIR/HLA interactions may prove useful for tumor immunotherapy. PubMed: 41629525DOI: 10.1038/s42003-026-09641-8 PDB entries with the same primary citation |
