  • Patent number: 9508078
    Abstract: Techniques for increasing the efficacy of an affiliate marketing program are described herein. These techniques may allow participants of the affiliate marketing program to easily create links to content that a content site offers. To do so, the content site may determine whether a user that requests content from the site is a participant of the program or a non-participant. Based at least in part on determining that the requesting user is a participant, the content site may serve the requested content in addition to a mechanism for creating links to the content. Furthermore, the mechanism may also illustrate or otherwise include content that is customized based on the content that the participant requests and/or based on an identity of the participant.

  • Publication number: 20110033884
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for modulating an immune response by modulating signaling via PD-1. The immune response may be downregulated by increasing signaling via PD-1, or may be upregulated by decreasing signaling via PD-1. Agents which are useful for stimulating signaling via PD-1 to downregulate an immune response include an activating antibody that recognizes PD-1, a form of B7-4 that binds to an inhibitory receptor, and a small molecule that binds to PD-1. Agents which are useful for inhibiting signaling via PD-1 to upregulate an immune response include a blocking antibody that recognizes PD-1, a non-activating form of B7-4, an antibody that recognizes B7-4, and a soluble form of PD-1. Also disclosed is a method for modulating the interaction of B7-4 with an inhibitory receptor on an immune cell. The method comprises contacting an antigen presenting cell which expresses B7-4 with an agent such as a form of B7-4, a form of PD-1, or an agent that modulates the interaction of B7-4 and PD-1.

  • Patent number: 7432059
    Abstract: The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated PD-L2 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel B7-related molecules which are ligands for PD-1. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing PD-L2 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a PD-L2 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention further provides isolated PD-L2 polypeptides, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-PD-L2 antibodies. The invention still further provides methods for promoting or inhibiting the interaction between PD-L2 and PD-1. The invention further provides methods of identifying compounds that upmodulate T cell activation in the presence of a PD-1-mediated signal. Diagnostic and treatment methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
