Patent number: 9957312Abstract: Fusion proteins containing B7-H4 polypeptides are disclosed. The B7-H4 fusion proteins can include full-length B7-H4 polypeptides, or can contain a fragment of a full-length B7-H4 polypeptide, including some or all of the extracellular domain of the B7-H4 polypeptide. Methods for using the fusion proteins to downregulate T cell activation and for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and disorders are also disclosed. The B7-H4 fusion proteins are useful for treating inflammation by inhibiting or reducing differentiation, proliferation, activity, and/or cytokine production and/or secretion by ThI, ThI 7, Th22, and/or other cells that secrete, or cause other cells to secrete, inflammatory molecules, including, but not limited to, IL-1?, TNF-?, TGF-beta, IFN-?, IL-17, IL-6, IL-23, IL-22, IL-21, and MMPs; or enhancing IL-IO secretion by Tregs, increasing the differentiation of Tregs, increasing the number of Tregs, or combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2015Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: MedImmune, LLCInventors: Solomon Langermann, Linda Liu, Joseph R.

Patent number: 9676854Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies (including anti-B7-H4 antibodies) and their antigen-binding fragments and to other molecules (including fusion proteins that bind to the cognate antigen/receptor, etc.) that are capable of immunospecifically binding to B7-H4 and the uses of such molecules in the diagnosis and the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The invention particularly concerns the use of such molecules to retard or prevent tumor growth, inhibit tumor-mediated suppression, eliminate tumors and/or deplete or block the activity of tumor associated macrophages (“TAMs”) so as to alter their activity and/or decrease TAM—mediated immune suppression.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2012Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: MedImmune, LLCInventors: Linda Liu, Shannon Marshall, Solomon Langermann
