    摘要: Novel structural forms of T cell costimulatory molecules are described. These structural forms comprise a novel structural domain or have a structural domain deleted or added. The structural forms correspond to naturally-occurring alternatively spliced forms of T cell costimulatory molecules or variants thereof which can be produced by standard recombinant DNA techniques. In one embodiment, the T cell costimulatory molecule of the invention contains a novel cytoplasmic domain. In another embodiment, the T cell costimulatory molecule of the invention contains a novel signal peptide domain or has an immunoglobulin variable region-like domain deleted. The novel structural forms of T cell costimulatory molecules can be used to identify agents which stimulate the expression of alternative forms of costimulatory molecules and to identify components of the signal transduction pathway which results in costimulation of T cells.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods for identifying an agent that modulates an immune response. One such method comprises screening for agents which inhibit the interaction between a PD-1 ligand and a PD-1 polypeptide, and determining whether the agents inhibit the interaction between a PD-1 ligand and a B7 polypeptide, to identify an agent that inhibits PD-1 ligand and PD-1 polypeptide interaction, while not inhibiting the interaction between a PD-1 ligand and a B7 polypeptide, as an agent that modulates an immune response. Another such method comprises screening for agents which inhibit the interaction between a PD-1 ligand and a B7 polypeptide, and determining whether the agents inhibit the interaction between a PD-1 ligand and a PD-1 polypeptide, to identify an agent that inhibits the PD-1 ligand and B7 polypeptide interaction, which does not inhibit the interaction between a PD-1 ligand and a PD-1 polypeptide, as an agent that modulates the immune response. Further disclosed is 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. The method comprises 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.
