    Recent studies have found that sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-15 (Siglec-15) may act as a key tumor checkpoint, thereby enhancing the expression and function of programmed death ligands


    Expression of high sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec)-15 on the surface of circulating blood cells in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

    This innovative "magic bullet" technology utilizes specific antibody targeting technology, thereby reducing the need for current therapies that are difficult, invasive and require long-term hospitalization of patients


    The researchers found high concentrations of a molecule called Siglec-15 on the surface of diseased cells in AML patients, and they also identified a molecule that binds Siglec-15, which can enter cells and carry away a molecule.


    In AML patients, Siglec-15 is expressed at higher levels than in healthy cells, so the researchers set out to exploit this overexpression for follow-up studies.


    The researchers said that AML is a major killer of human death, especially for the elderly.
