A New Monoclonal Antibody that Blocks KIT Dimerisation and Inhibits Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour Growth
2020-08-05
Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is the most common sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract, and arises owing to oncogenic mutations in c-kit that result in constitutive auto-phosphorylation of KIT in the absence of ligand binding. Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors have shown good clinical activity by inhibiting ATP binding to the receptor. Unfortunately, majority of patients eventually develop drug re...
