Our Focus

Ascletis focus on breakthrough therapies for HBV functional cure with subcutaneously injected PD-L1 antibody - ASC22. 



HBV Functional Cure: ASC22 mechanism

Prolonged activation of T cells leads to high expression of PD-1. By blocking the connection between PD-1 and PDL-1 through PD-1 antibodies or PD-L1 antibodies, T-cells can remain activated and exert immune functions, ultimately leading to clinical cure.
