4-1BB agonist targeted to fibroblast activation protein α synergizes with radiotherapy to treat murine breast tumor models by Ignacio Melero, Alvaro Teijeira, Christian Klein, Maria E Rodriguez-Ruiz, Christina Claus, Pablo Umana, Tamara Tanos, Carlos E De Andrea, Carlos Luri-Rey, Paloma Sanchez-Mateos, Leticia Fernández-Rubio, María Collantes, Irantzu Serrano-Mendioroz, Celia Barrio-Alonso, Antonio Rullan, Jon Ander Simon, Eneko Garate-Soraluze, Claudia del Pilar Herrero

“…We hypothesized that IR increases FAP expression in CAFs, therefore the combination of IR with targeted immunomodulators such as an agonistic anti-FAP-4-1BBL fusion protein could enhance the immune-mediated antitumoral effects of these treatments.Methods The murine transplantable TS/A tumor-cell-line co-engrafted with CAFs was used to investigate increases in FAP expression in tumors following irradiation using immunohistochemistry, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and multiplex tissue immunofluorescence. …”
