CD6-ALCAM Pathway is Central to Immuno-inflammation
The CD6-ALCAM pathway modulates T cell activity and trafficking and we believe is central to
the pathogenesis of multiple immuno-inflammatory diseases
• CD6 is a co-stimulatory receptor overexpressed on Teff and
down-regulated on Treg
CD6High cells exhibit greater pathogenic capacity
• Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM), is
expressed on both antigen-presenting cells and tissues
including the blood-brain-barrier, skin, gut, lung and
kidney
The binding of CD6-ALCAM is important for:
• Immune synapse formation
Optimal co-stimulation and activation of T cells
Trafficking into tissues
