Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments methods and compositions involving inhibitors of the immunoreceptor Natural Killer Group 2, Member D, (NKG2D) for inhibiting tumor progression and treating cancer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for inhibiting tumor progression, the method comprising administering to a subject that has been determined to have NKG2D-expressing cancer cells a composition comprising an anti-NKG2D ligand antibody or NKG2D ligand-binding polypeptide. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the NKG2D ligand antibody or ligand binding polypeptide inhibitor interferes with the NKG2D-binding of one or more endogenous NKG2D ligands on a cancer cell. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide is an isolated antibody. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the isolated antibody is a monoclonal antibody, a chimeric antibody, a humanized antibody, a human antibody, or a single chain antibody. 5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the isolated antibody is a human antibody. 6. A method for treating cancer comprising administering to NKG2D-expressing cancer cells in a subject that has been determined to have NKG2D-expressing cancer cells a composition comprising an anti-NKG2D ligand antibody or NKG2D ligand-binding polypeptide. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the polypeptide is an isolated antibody. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the isolated antibody is a monoclonal antibody, a chimeric antibody, a humanized antibody, a human antibody, or a single chain antibody. 9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the isolated antibody is a human antibody. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ligand comprises MIC or ULBP. 11. The method of claim 6 , wherein the ligand comprises MIC or ULBP. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer cells comprise ovarian, breast, prostate, or colon cancer cells. 13. The method of claim 6 , wherein the cancer cells comprise ovarian, breast, prostate, or colon cancer cells. 14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises administering to the subject a composition comprising a NKG2D ligand-binding polypeptide.
