Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a novel-peptide-based anticancer immunotherapeutic agent, and to use, as an anticancer immunotherapeutic agent, of melittin, a variant thereof, analogues thereof, or a conjugate in which a drug is linked thereto. The melittin, the variant thereof or the analogues thereof, of the present invention, specifically bind to ITGB2, which is expressed on the cell membrane of M2 tumor-associated macrophages, so as to kill the M2 tumor-associated macrophages, and a conjugate in which a pro-apoptotic peptide or an anticancer drug is conjugated as a drug to the melittin, the variant thereof, or the analogues thereof remarkably increases apoptotic effects of the M2 tumor-associated macrophages, and thus can be used as an anticancer composition for suppressing tumor growth and metastasis.
