APC Activator

APC Activators (or Antigen-presenting cell activators) are a type of immunotherapy which leverages antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to drive an adaptive immune response. APC Activators are agonists to APC surface-expressed ligands that, when bound, induce the maturation and activation of APCs. Professional antigen-presenting cells – including dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells – serve an indispensable role in the adaptive immune response through their unique ability to phagocytose, digest, and present exogenous (circulating) antigens to T cells, facilitating antigen-specific immune responses.
