Targeting Cytokine Therapy to the Pancreatic Tumor Microenvironment Using PD-L1–Specific VHHs

Cytokine-based therapies for cancer have not achieved widespread clinical success because of inherent toxicities. Treatment for pancreatic cancer is limited by the dense stroma that surrounds tumors and by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. To overcome these barriers, we developed constructs of single-domain antibodies (VHHs) against PD-L1 fused with IL-2 and IFNγ. Targeting cytokine delivery in this manner reduced pancreatic tumor...
