    摘要: Presented herein are therapeutic agents that modulate one or more immune functions and uses of such therapeutic agents in the prevention, treatment and management of diseases. In one aspect, the therapeutic agents modulate one or more signal transduction pathways induced by the binding of B7-H7 to B7-H7CR, or the binding of B7-H2 to either ICOS, CD28, or CTLA-4. In another aspect, the therapeutic agents modulate the binding of B7-H7 to B7-H7CR, or the binding of B7-H2 to either ICOS, CD28, or CTLA-4. The therapeutic agents can be used in the prevention, treatment and/or management of diseases in which it might be useful to modulate one or more immune functions (e.g., cancer, infectious disease, autoimmune disease, and transplantation rejection). In another aspect, presented herein are methods for identifying receptor-ligand interactions.

    摘要: Compositions containing soluble B7-H4 (sH4) antagonists in an amount effective to reduce, inhibit, or mitigate an inflammatory response in an individual and methods for the treatment or prophylaxis of inflammatory disorders and autoimmune diseases or disorders are provided. Soluble H4 has been discovered to interfere with B7-H4 activity including B7-H4's activity as an inhibitor of T cell immunity. Thus, interference of sH4 biological activity is an effective method to restore B7-H4 activity and thereby provide an effective method for treating inflammatory diseases or disorders including autoimmune diseases or disorders. B7-H4Ig could also work as an agonist to suppress both humoral and cellular autoimmunity.

    摘要: The invention generally features compositions and methods that are useful for increasing immune function. Such methods can be employed to enhance innate immunity for the prevention or treatment of pathogen infections (e.g., bacterial, viral, or fungal infections), lymphopenia, or cancer by stimulating a CD1 37 polypeptide expressed on an immune cell, such as a memory T cell. The invention further comprises a mouse lacking detectable levels of CD 137, cells derived from the mouse, and methods of producing additional knockouts animals.
