A deimmunized and pharmacologically optimized Toll-like receptor 5 agonist for therapeutic applications

Mett et al. describe development of GP532, a substantially deimmunized derivative of Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) agonist entolimod. GP532 has mutations eliminating key B- and T-cell epitopes and an inflammasome-activating domain yet remains a potent NF-κB activator with biological effects similar to...
