Title:
免疫細胞活性化を調節する作用剤およびその使用方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4488740
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods for modulating an immune response including a method for inhibiting the interaction between a B7 polypeptide and a PD-1 ligand, the method comprising contacting an immune cell bearing a PD-1 ligand, or an immune cell bearing a B7 polypeptide, with an agent that inhibits the interaction between the PD-1 ligand and the B7 polypeptide. Such agents may be an anti-PD-1 ligand antibody or a small molecule. Also disclosed is a method for modulating an immune response comprising contacting an immune cell bearing the PD-1 ligand, or an immune cell bearing the PD-1 polypeptide, with an agent that inhibits interactions between the PD-1 ligand and the PD-1 polypeptide, without inhibiting interactions between the PD-1 ligand and a B7 polypeptide, to thereby modulate an immune response. The agent may be an anti-PD-1 ligand antibody or a small molecule.
