Abstract: The invention relates to humanized antibodies directed against the human lymphocyte receptor CD28. When used in a monovalent form these antibodies are antagonists, i.e. capable of blocking of the CD28/B7 interaction, without activating CD28. These antibodies can be used in particular as therapeutic agents for blocking T cell activation through the CD28 receptor.

Abstract: The invention concerns antibodies directed against CD127, I.e. the alpha chain of the receptor for interleukin7 (IL-7), especially the receptor for human IL-7 expressed on human cells (designated human IL-7R alpha or IL-7Ra) or the TSLP receptor. The antibodies of the invention have cytotoxic activity against CD127 positive cells. The invention also relates to the use of these antibodies in order to deplete subpopulations of T lymphocytes as a result of cytotoxic action of the antibodies, through ADCC and optionally through CDC. Accordingly the invention concerns the use of the antibodies in the treatment of transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, lymphoma or cancer when these pathologies are associated with CD127 positive cells.

Abstract: The invention relates to monovalent ligands of the human CD28 receptor, which can selectively block the interaction between CD28 and B7 without activating the CD28 receptor. Said ligands can be used in particular in the production of immunosuppressant drugs, selectively blocking T lymphocyte activation phenomena involving the CD28 receptor.

Abstract: The invention relates to recombinant monovalent antibodies which are heterodimers of a first protein chain comprising the variable domain of the heavy chain of an antibody of interest and the CH2 and CH3 domains of an IgG immunoglobulin and a second protein chain comprising the variable domain of the light chain of said immunoglobulin of interest and the CH2 and CH3 domains of said IgG immunoglobulin. These antibodies can be used in particular as therapeutic agents in all cases where monovalent binding to a ligand such a cellular receptor is required.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a molecule binding to LAG-3 protein and causing depletion of LAG-3? activated T cells particularly said molecule is a cytotoxic anti-LAG-3 monoclonal antibody or fragment thereof. It also concerns a method of treating or preventing organ transplant rejection or autoimmune diseases in a mammal comprising administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of said antibody.

Abstract: An antibody or antibody fragment directed against the CD28 receptor which blocks the interaction between B7-1 or B7-2 and CD28. Methods for blocking activation via CD28, including CD28-dependent lymphocyte activation.

Abstract: The invention concerns an antibody directed against the CD28 receptor and capable of blocking CD28/B7 interaction, and proteins derived from said antibody, for use in particular to block CD28-dependent activation of lymphocytes.
