  • Patent number: 12692321
    Abstract: A humanized antibody or antigen binding fragment that binds to the poliovirus receptor (PVR) can be utilized in the preparation of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) to target nucleic acids, peptides and proteins, drugs and radiopharmaceuticals to cancer cells. These antibodies or antigen binding fragments can also be used for checkpoint blockade. The humanized antibody or antigen binding fragment of this invention can also modulate the PVR-DNAM-1 axis in order to upregulate DNAM 1 (CD226) expression on T cells or NK cells. The antibody or antigen binding fragment that bind to PVR can also be incorporated in CAR-T cells or CAR-NK cells. Bispecific antibodies can also be produced by incorporating the anti-CD155 antibodies or antigen binding fragments to engage T cells or NK cells to fight cancers that express CD155.
