How Can Understanding Catalysis Improve Immunotherapy?
By understanding the catalytic processes involved in immune evasion, researchers can develop more effective immunotherapies. For instance:
Enzyme Inhibitors: Designing inhibitors that target enzymes involved in immune evasion can enhance the immune response against pathogens or cancer cells. Catalytic Antibodies: These are antibodies engineered to possess catalytic activity, which can selectively degrade immune-suppressing molecules or activate immune cells. Biomarker Identification: Identifying and targeting enzymatic biomarkers associated with immune evasion can improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
