NCIt definition : A synthetic and inhibitory triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1)
peptide, with potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Upon administration,
nangibotide binds to TREM-1 ligand and inhibits the binding of the TREM-1 ligand to
TREM-1. This blocks the TREM-1-mediated amplification of innate immunity signaling,
and prevents the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and inflammation. TREM-1,
an immune-receptor expressed in neutrophils, mature monocytes, macrophages, natural
killer (NK) cells and endothelial cells, is up-regulated following Toll-Like Receptors
(TLR) or NOD-like receptors (NLR) signaling. It plays a key role in the amplification
of inflammatory and innate immune responses.;
