ABSTRACT
The T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT) is an inhibitory immunoreceptor expressed on lymphocytes that serves as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. In this study, facile synthetic protocols to produce the extracellular domain of TIGIT were investigated for applications of TIGIT in mirror-image screening. During the synthesis via sequential native chemical ligations, we encountered problems with significantly poor solubility of the ligated products. Introducing trityl-type solubilizing auxiliaries, which also functioned as temporary protecting groups for cysteine residues, facilitated a flexible order of ligations and efficient purification protocols. After refolding under appropriate conditions, the synthetic TIGIT showed a sufficient affinity toward its target ligand CD155.
