Cemiplimab (Anti-Human PD-1) is a high-affinity programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) monoclonal IgG4 antibody that blocks PD-1/PD-L1-mediated T-cell suppression. Cemiplimab is commonly used in squamous cell skin cancer research.
Cemiplimab (i.p., 10 mg/kg, five injections within 2 weeks) can increased the proportion of effector T cells in tumors and dLNs to reduce tumor growth by combined immunotherapy with REGN3767 in MC38.Ova tumor mice model[2].
