NCIt definition : A recombinant human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody against the immune
activating receptor natural-killer group 2, member D receptor protein (NKG2D or KLRK1),
with potential immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory activities. Upon administration,
tesnatilimab targets and binds to NKG2D expressed on human natural killer (NK) and
certain T-lymphocytes, and blocks the activation of NKG2D. This may inhibit both the
cytotoxic activities of lymphocytes and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
NKG2D, a dimeric, type II transmembrane protein expressed on human NK and certain
T-cells, and its ligands play important roles in some inflammatory and autoimmune
conditions.;
