    摘要: The present invention provides isolated monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind LAG-3, and have optimized functional properties compared to previously described anti-LAG-3 antibodies, such as antibody 25F7 (US 2011/0150892 A1). These properties include reduced deamidation sites, while still retaining high affinity binding to human LAG-3, and physical (i.e., thermal and chemical) stability. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibodies of the invention, expression vectors, host cells and methods for expressing the antibodies of the invention arc also provided, as well as immunoconjugates, bispecific molecules and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies. The present invention also provides methods for detecting LAG-3, as well as methods for treating stimulating immune responses using an anti-LAG-3 antibody of the invention. Combination therapy, in which the antibodies are co-administered with at least one additional immunostimulatory antibody, is also provided.

    摘要: The present invention provides antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, that bind to human TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains), as well as uses of these antibodies or fragments in therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of cancer or chronic viral infection. Such method of treatment include combination therapy with inhibitors of other immunomodulatory receptor interactions, such as the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction. The invention further provides polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies, expression vectors comprising the polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies, cells comprising the vectors, and methods of making the antibodies or fragments by expressing them from the cells.
