Abstract

Structural immunotherapy relies on the structural features of immunotherapeutics in addition to component identity to influence biodistribution, intra- or extracellular localization, target engagement, and processing kinetics. This strategy is poised to redefine how immunotherapeutics mobilize immunity against disease and transform our ability to harness structure-function relationships to enhance clinical outcomes.
