Abstract
A fusion protein in which an anti-CD73 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and IL-2 are linked to each other, and the use thereof are disclosed. The fusion protein or dimer thereof contains an anti-CD73 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and IL-2, and is able to inhibit adenosine production by binding to CD73 of cancer cells, thereby blocking the A2AR and A2BR signaling pathways, thus controlling the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the fusion protein or dimer thereof is able to activate immune cells (CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells) along with less activation of immunosuppressive cells such as regulatory T cells (Tregs). In addition, IL-2 or a variant thereof in the fusion protein is able to activate immune cells. Therefore, the fusion protein and dimer thereof may be useful for preventing or treating cancer.
