Immune checkpoint blockade strategies are starting to be complemented by the addition of co-stimulatory molecule agonism with the goal of generating a more robust anti-tumor response. This approach warrants further investigation in order to find optimal combinations of targets and better inform future therapeutic options. Find the agonistic antibodies and small molecules you need below.
All of our agonistic (functional assay) antibodies are tested in-house in relevant bioassays and manufactured to ensure low endotoxin levels so you can be confident in their performance and trust the data you generate.
