Abstract: The invention provides antagonistic and agonistic anti-human VISTA antibodies and antibody fragments. These antagonist antibodies and antibody fragments may be used to inhibit or block VISTA's suppressive effects on T cell immunity and thereby promote T cell immunity. These agonist antibodies and antibody fragments may be used to potentiate or enhance or mimic VISTA's suppressive effects on T cell immunity and thereby suppress T cell immunity. These antagonist antibodies and antibody fragments are especially useful in the treatment of cancer and infectious conditions. These agonist antibodies and antibody fragments are especially useful in the treatment of autoimmunity, allergy, inflammatory conditions, GVHD, sepsis and transplant recipients. Screening assays for identifying these agonists are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides anti-VISTA antibody drug conjugates which may be used for targeted delivery of anti-inflammatory agents such as steroids to immune cells, e.g., myeloid cells. The invention also provides methods of using anti-VISTA antibody drug conjugates in the treatment of inflammatory and/or autoimmune conditions and/or for alleviating the toxicity of anti-inflammatory agents such as steroids.
