Abstract
Described herein are methods and compositions relating to methods of inhibiting neutrophils, e.g., inhibiting NET release or NETosis, by means of a DEspR inhibitor, e.g., an anti-DEspR antibody reagent. In some embodiments, the methods can relate to the treatment of a disease, e.g., cancer or a disease wherein neutrophils; NETs; or NETosing or NETting neutrophils contribute to pathogenesis, chronicity, or worsening of disease. In some embodiments, the DEspR inhibitor can be a bi-specific reagent or an antibody-drug conjugate.
