The poster, titled, "Aberrant Expression of TIM-4-L is a Common Feature of AML and Potential Target for Engineered T Cell Therapy" presents data showing that TIM-4-L is prevalent on multiple acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subsets, but not present in healthy tissue.&nbsp; The study continues that CER-1236, CERo's lead compound, showed potent in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity against TP53 mutant AML.&nbsp; Further, a full-scale toxicity study revealed that CER-1236 T cells engraft in lymphoid tissues, but do not cause any in-life observations, clinical pathology, or histopathological evaluations.&nbsp; This indicates that CER-1236 is not associated with any adverse toxicities against healthy tissue, even at high doses.&nbsp; The poster, which is being presented on July 8, 2024, can be accessed <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=WctxRYuKMcVz6dzaL4AhWmhkz7wzijYK_X5EeuOpxTum9Q46sWUtedqXI2LejbqQo-YP2n_7ES7LuI_JFdoYmY9-SjNhN5pf0i6hpSGSc3E=">here</a>.
