Compugen announced the online publication of preclinical data demonstrating the role of PVRIG as a novel immune checkpoint and the potential of COM701, Compugen's first-in-class inhibitory antibody targeting PVRIG, to serve as an effective cancer immunotherapy. The findings were published in two peer-reviewed papers in Cancer Immunology Research, an American Association for Cancer Research publication. Both papers were co-authored by Compugen's scientists in collaboration with scientists from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, headed by Drew Pardoll, Abeloff Professor of Oncology, Medicine, Pathology, and Molecular Biology and Genetics at Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, and Director of the Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and Co-Director of the Cancer Immunology Program at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins, and Chairman of Compugen's Scientific Advisory Board.
