TZ-Ab101

Tumor-Specific Antigen Targeting Strategies for
Solid Tumor Therapy

TZ-Ab101 is designed to eliminate cancer cells presenting the oncogenic KRAS(G12D)
peptide in the context of pMHC class I.

Unlike conventional therapies that lack selectivity for tumor-specific antigens,
our antibody specifically recognizes and binds to KRAS(G12D)–derived pMHC,
enabling precise targeting and killing of cancer cells
