Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to novel regulatory T cell proteins. One protein, designated PD-L3, resembles members of the PD-L1 family, and co-stimulates αCD3 proliferation of T cells in vitro. A second, TNF-like, protein has also been identified as being upregulated upon αCD3/αGITR stimulation. This protein has been designated T reg -sTNF. Proteins, antibodies, activated T cells and methods for using the same are disclosed. In particular methods of using these proteins and compounds, preferably antibodies, which bind or modulate (agonize or antagonize) the activity of these proteins, as immune modulators and for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease, allergy, infection and inflammatory conditions, e.g. multiple sclerosis is disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating an autoimmune disorder comprising administering an effective amount of fusion protein comprising a human PD-L3 protein of SEQ ID NO:4 or a fragment thereof and an immunoglobulin (Ig) polypeptide, wherein said human PD-L3-Ig fusion protein elicits an immunosuppressive effect on one or more of T cell activation, T cell differentiation; CD4 + T cell proliferation or CD8 + T cell proliferation. 2. The method of claim 1…
