Summary
This study aims to develop a new antibody therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), the most common type of leukaemia in adults. We will study the function of CD300f, a new receptor found on the surface of both healthy blood cells and the cancer cells in AML. We will investigate whether blocking this receptor with a newly developed antibody can be used to kill cancer cells. It is hoped that this study will allow development of this antibody for use in a future clinical trial.
