    Furthermore, arginase inhibition restored kidney nitric oxide (NO) levels, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function following UUO.These findings indicate that endothelial-Arg2 plays a major role in renal fibrosis via its action on NO and mitochondrial function. Blocking Arg2 activity or expression could be a novel therapeutic approach for prevention of CKD.

    [VIRTUAL] Development of a first-in-class Arginase 2 inhibitory monoclonal antibody that restores T cell proliferation in vitro () -  Nov 19, 2020 - Abstract #NCRI2020NCRI_103;    
    Conclusion Specifically, targeting ARG2 in the tumor microenvironment through the application of the novel ARG2 inhibitory antibody C0021158, potentially in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens or alternate immunotherapies, represents a potential new strategy to target immune cold tumors. Impact statement This is the first report of an antibody which can bind to and inhibit the activity of arginase 2 which has been implicated in multiple diseases, in particular those diseases where arginase expression contributes to creating an immune-privileged niche.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Extensive sequence and structural evolution of Arginase 2 inhibitory antibodies enabled by an unbiased approach to affinity maturation. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 8, 2020   
    The extensive sequence changes resulting from this approach were translated into striking structural changes for parent and affinity-matured antibodies bound to ARG2, with a large reorientation of the binding paratope facilitating increases in contact surface and shape complementarity to the antigen. The considerable gains in therapeutic properties seen from extensive sequence and structural evolution of the parent ARG2 inhibitory antibody clearly illustrate the advantages of the unbiased approach developed, which was key to the identification of high-affinity antibodies with the desired inhibitory potency and specificity.
