Abstract: Described are antagonistic TNFR2 polypeptides, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, and the use of these polypeptides to inhibit the proliferation of regulatory T cells (T-regs) and/or myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), to expand T effector cell populations or function, and to reduce the proliferation of, or directly kill, tumor cells, such as tumor cells that express TNFR2 antigen. The polypeptides, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, are TNFR2 antagonists, such as dominant TNFR2 antagonists. The polypeptides can be used to suppress the T-reg- or MDSC-mediated deactivation of tumor reactive T lymphocytes, expand populations of tumor-reactive cytotoxic T cells, and/or to directly kill TNFR2+ tumor cells. The antagonistic TNFR2 polypeptides described herein can be used to treat a wide variety of cancers and infectious diseases.

Abstract: The invention provides agonistic TNFR2 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof and encompasses the use of these antibodies as therapeutics to promote the proliferation of regulatory T cells (T-reg) for the treatment of immunological diseases. Antibodies of the invention can be used to potentiate the T-reg-mediated deactivation of self- and allergen-reactive T- and B-eases. Antibodies and can thus be used to treat a wide variety of indications, including autoimmune diseases, allergic reactions, asthma, graft-versus-host disease, and allograft rejection, among others.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of treating disease, such as hypercholesterolemia (e.g., by modulating serum lipids, such as cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins, and triglycerides) and hyperglycemia by administering Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Methods of the invention also encompass the use of genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses for determining the likelihood that a patient has disease or will respond to treatment (e.g., with BCG therapy), as well as for determining whether a patient previously administered BCG would benefit from BCG redosing.

Abstract: The invention features homo-multimers, e.g., homo-trimers, of TNFSF or TNF-like ligand muteins in which each TNFSF ligand or TNF-like ligand mutein monomer contains at least one cysteine residue substitution or insertion that promotes the formation of a disulfide bond with a cysteine residue on a neighboring TNFSF or TNF-like ligand mutein monomer. The invention features methods of producing such TNFSF and TNF-like ligand muteins, pharmaceutical compositions containing such muteins, and methods of using such muteins in cancer immunotherapy, in treating autoimmune and neurological diseases, and in reducing or eliminating the complications and risks of rejection in organ transplantation or tissue or organ repair or regeneration.
