    摘要: The ligand for VISTA is identified (VSIG3) as well as the use of this ligand and receptor interaction in the identification or synthesis of a VSIG3 agonist or antagonist compounds, preferably antibodies, polypeptides and fusion proteins which agonize or antagonize the effects of VSIG3 and/or VISTA and/or the VSIG3/VISTA interaction. These antagonists may be used to suppress VSIG/3/VISTA's suppressive effects on T cell immunity, and more particularly used in the treatment of cancer, or infectious disease. These agonist compounds may be used to potentiate or enhance VSIG3/VISTA's suppressive effects on T cell immunity and thereby suppress T cell immunity, such as in the treatment of autoimmunity, allergy or inflammatory conditions. Screening assays for identifying these agonists and antagonist compounds are also provided.

    摘要: A method for assaying endoglycosidase activity includes providing a proteoglycan having a glycosaminoglycan chain with a non-reducing end; treating the proteoglycan with a glycosyltransferase to incorporate a carbohydrate into the non-reducing end of the glycosaminoglycan chain, wherein the carbohydrate includes a click chemistry moiety; adding a label to the proteoglycan, wherein the label includes a click chemistry moiety that reacts to the click chemistry moiety of the carbohydrate such that the label attaches to the carbohydrate to form a labeled proteoglycan; immobilizing the labeled proteoglycan on a multi-well plate, wherein the multi-well plate includes a specific anti-proteoglycan antibody for binding the labeled proteoglycan; treating the labeled proteoglycan with an endoglycosidase specific to the glycosaminoglycan chain; and detecting the labeled proteoglycan.
