Description |
TRX4 is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a receptor found on all T cells called CD3, which is involved in normal T cell signaling. TRX4 is believed to inhibit the function of autoreactive T cells, which are important in propagating autoimmune diseases, while inducing regulatory T cell pathways that promote immunological tolerance and inhibit autoreactive disease activity. Tolerx is developing TRX4 to treat patients with type 1 diabetes, psoriasis and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
