Abstract: The present invention pertains to a fusion polypeptide for use in treating and/or preventing organ failure in a subject suffering from sepsis, said fusion polypeptide comprises at least (i) a first portion being a Fc portion of an immunoglobulin and (ii) a second portion comprising the extracellular portion of the human B7-H1 polypeptide or a variant thereof. Moreover, also encompassed by the invention is a polynucleotide encoding said fusion polypeptide for use in treating and/or preventing organ failure in a subject suffering from sepsis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a PD-L1 polypeptide comprising at least a first amino acid sequence at least 70% identical to SEQ ID NO:8, and at least a second sequence at least 70% identical to SEQ ID NO: 10, wherein the polypeptide carries amino acid substitutions at least at the amino acid positions Y56 and P76, wherein the amino acid positions are based on the murine PD-L1 amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO:6). The present invention also relates to a polynucleotide encoding the aforesaid PD-L1 polypeptide, and to host cells, methods, and uses related thereto.
