Very nasty.

Any way of predicting the likely cause ?

It's a mAB, so off target effects unlikely ?
(CD28 agonist -
Message 22261812 )

TeGenero has identified a functionally novel class of proprietary “superagonistic” monoclonal antibodies (SuperMAB®) directed against the important immuno- regulatory T cell antigen CD28. CD28 is the most efficient CD receptor that co-stimulates T cells in combination with the TCR. Activation of the CD28 signaling pathway requires simultaneous triggering of the TCR by antigen and of CD28 by its physiological membrane-bound ligands. In vitro, this process can be mimicked by using a combination of MABs with specificity for the TCR and CD28. TeGenero´s novel CD28-SuperMAB®, bypasses the requirement for TCR signaling and activates T cells regardless of their TCR specificity. CD28-SuperMAB® therefore represents the first universal T cell growth factor applicable for therapeutic purpose in the intact organism...

Contamination ?

Hit the front pages in the UK, so I wouldn't like to be recruiting for any other PI trials right now...
