Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided herein are antibodies that specifically bind to GITR. Also described are related polynucleotides capable of encoding the provided GITR-specific antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, cells expressing the provided antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, as well as associated vectors and detectably labeled antibodies or antigen-binding fragments. In addition, methods of using the provided antibodies are described. For example, the provided antibodies may be used to enhance an immune response in a subject against cancer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An isolated antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds to human GITR comprising a heavy chain CDR1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 27, a heavy chain CDR2 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, and a heavy chain CDR3 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 26, a light chain CDR1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28, a light chain CDR2 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 32, and a light chain CDR3 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 35. 2. The antibody or an antigen-binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises SEQ ID NO: 64. 3. The antibody or an antigen-binding fragment of claim 2 , wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof comprises a light chain region comprising SEQ ID NO: 55. 4. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment of claim 1 wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof specifically binds human GITR with a binding affinity of at least 30 nM as measured by surface plasmon resonance. 5. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment of claim 1 wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment induces ADCC in vitro with an EC 50 of less than about 67 ng/mL. 6. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment of claim 1 wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is a human antibody or antigen-binding fragment. 7. The antigen-binding fragment of claim 1 wherein the antigen binding fragment is a Fab fragment, a Fab2 fragment, or a single chain antibody. 8. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment of claim 1 wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is recombinant. 9. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment of claim 1 wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof are of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 isotype. 10. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment of claim 1 is IgG1 isotype. 11. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 12. A kit comprising the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, of claim 1 .
