    Immune Monitoring of The First Cardiac Xenotransplant From Genetically engineered pig to a Human (Indigo H) -  Aug 9, 2023 - Abstract #IPITAIXACTRMS2023IPITA_IXA_CTRMS_521;    
    Induction included ATG (after xTX), Rituxan (one dose only), C1 esterase, and costimulation blockade with humanized anti-CD40 (KPL404) antibody. Our study demonstrates that immune monitoring accurately reflects the immune response status of the recipient after cardiac xTX and continuous monitoring will aid in the early detection of rejection even and allow effective intervention.

    Preclinical, Journal:  Preclinical immunopharmacologic assessment of KPL-404, a novel, humanized, non-depleting antagonistic anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 28, 2022   
    In vitro and in vivo findings characterize KPL-404 as a blocking anti-CD40 antibody that potently inhibits primary and secondary antibody responses at pharmacologically relevant concentrations with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile and did not deplete B-cells by antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity or apoptosis ("non-depleting"). These findings support clinical development of KPL-404 as a potential therapeutic in autoimmune diseases.
