Abstract
The present invention relates to a fusion protein comprising an extracellular domain of leucine-rich and immunoglobulin-like domains-1 (Lrig-1) protein and an immunoglobulin Fc region. The fusion protein provided in the present invention can interact with a ligand for Lrig-1 protein, which is present on effector T cells, to inhibit the interaction between the effector T cells and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) having the Lrig-1 protein on their surface, so that activity of the regulatory T cells is inhibited and activity of the effector T cells is maintained or elevated, thereby effectively inhibiting growth of cancer cells, in particular, solid cancer cells.
