Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies which bind to latency-associated peptide (LAP) of TGF-?1 and are characterized by particular functional features, such as binding specifically to LAP-TGF?1 on cells but not to LAP-TGF?1 in extracellular matrix, as well as compositions including the same. Also provided are uses of these antibodies in therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of cancer, and diagnostic applications.
