Nangibotide

How it works

A decoy peptide meant to hold back TREM-1, the immune receptor that amplifies inflammation, in septic shock. Volume down, not off.

What it's made of

12 amino acids copied from TLT-1, a platelet protein related to TREM-1. It acts as a decoy: it holds back the activation of TREM-1, the receptor that amplifies inflammation.

What it's for

Prescribed for

Nothing.

Sold as

Turning down the inflammation amplifier in septic shock, only in those who have it switched on.
