Abstract A majority of cancers fail to respond immunotherapy with antibodies targeting immune checkpoints, such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) or programmed death-1 (PD-1)/PD-1 ligand (PD-L1). Cancers frequently express transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ), which drives dysfunction in the tumor microenvironment by inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs) and inhibiting CD8 + H 1 cells. To address this therapeutic challenge, we invent bifunctional antibody–ligand traps (Y-traps)...
