CD152 and CD28, together with their ligands B7-1 and B7-2, constitute one of the dominant costimulatory pathways that regulate T and B cell responses. CD152 and CD28 are structurally homologous molecules that are members of the immunoglobulin (Ig) gene superfamily. Both CD152 and CD28 are composed of a single Ig V-like extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain. CD152 and CD28 are both expressed on the cell surface as disulfide-linked homodimers or as monomers. CD152 was originally identified as a gene that was specifically expressed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. However, CD152 transcripts have since been found in both Th1 and Th2, and CD4+ and CD8+ T cell clones. Whereas, CD28 expression is constitutive on the surfaces of 95% of CD4+ T cells and 50% of CD8+ T cells and is down regulated upon T cell activation, CD152 expression is upregulated rapidly following T cell activation and peaks approximately 24 hours following activation. Although both CD152 and CD28 can bind to the same ligands, CD152 binds to B71 and B72 with 20-100-fold higher affinity than CD28.

c-Met kinase is the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGFR). Primarily expressed on epithelial and mesenchymal cells its normal function is associated with wound healing, liver regeneration and embryo development. However, dysregulation of c-Met through overexpression, gene amplification, mutation or a ligand-dependent autocrine/paracrine loop is associated with tumorigenesis. c-Met dysregulation in human cancer patients is typically associated with a poor prognosis, aggressive disease, increased metastasis and shortened patient survival. Targeting the hepatocyte growth factor/c-Met signalling pathway as a means of cancer therapy has, therefore, become increasingly popular with a number of different therapeutic approaches undergoing clinical trials. AMG-51 represents a modified novel pyrimidone 7 compound that demonstates good effectiveness against c-Met with few off target effects at set concentrations. AMG-51 shows the enzyme selectivity of c-Met with a Ki of 4.9nM, with off target proteins such as IGFR with a Ki of 22nM, Ron with a Ki of 28nM, and KDR with Ki of 139nM.

Human CD8 is a heterodimeric protein consisting of an alpha and beta chain, each about 33kDa. CD8 is expressed on most thymocytes and on about one third of peripheral blood T cells. CD8 is a co-receptor involved in antigen recognition and binds to the alpha2 and alpha3 domain of MHC Class I molecules.

Fluorinated pyrimidine analog. Antimycotic prodrug that is converted by cytosine deaminase to 5-fluorouracil (a widely used cytotoxic drug) and further metabolized to fluorinated ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides. Inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis and interfers with ribosomal protein synthesis. Displays antifungal and antitumor activity. Lately with the development of gene therapy, it has been introduced as a prodrug in combination with the cytosine deaminase suicide gene as antitumor compound, significantly improving survival and reducing tumor size in selected tumors.
