Biotinylated Mouse LRRC15 / LIB Protein, His, Avitag™

LRRC15 (Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15) is also known as LIB and hLib. LRRC15 is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors. LRRC15 was expressed on stromal fibroblasts in many solid tumors (e.g., breast, head and neck, lung, pancreatic) as well as directly on a subset of cancer cells of mesenchymal origin (e.g., sarcoma, melanoma, glioblastoma) . LRRC15 expression was induced by TGFβ on activated fibroblasts (αSMA+) and on mesenchymal stem cells. These collective findings suggested LRRC15 as a novel CAF and mesenchymal marker with utility as a therapeutic target for the treatment of cancers with LRRC15-positive stromal desmoplasia or cancers of mesenchymal origin. ABBV-085 is a monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) -containing antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) directed against LRRC15, and it demonstrated robust preclinical efficacy against LRRC15 stromal-positive/cancer-negative, and LRRC15 cancer-positive models as a monotherapy, or in combination with standard-of-care therapies.
