  • Publication number: 20230279112
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating cancer using molecules having an antigen binding fragment that immunospecifically binds to BTN1A1 or a BTN1A1 ligand, such as anti-BTN1A1 antibodies or anti-BTN1A1 ligand antibodies. Also provided herein are BTN1A1 ligands, such as Galectin-1, Galectin-9, Neuropilin-2, and B- and T-Lymphocyte Attenuator.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11253590
    Abstract: Provided herein are molecules, such as antibodies, that selectively bind to glycosylated BTLA (B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator) relative to unglycosylated BTLA. Methods for making and using such molecules are also provided, including methods for treating or diagnosing cancer. In some embodiments, the anti-glycosylated BTLA antibodies provided herein can immunospecifically bind to glycosylated wild-type BTLA (WT). In some embodiments, the anti-glycosylated BTLA antibodies provided herein can immunospecifically bind to one or more BTLA double mutants that retain only a single glycosylation site at BTLA N75, N94 or N110. In some embodiments, the anti-glycosylated BTLA antibodies provided herein show only background binding, if any, to a BTLA triple mutant, that retains none of BTLA's N75, N94, or N110 0-glycosylation sites.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200148768
    Abstract: Provided herein are molecules having an antigen binding fragment that immuno specifically binds to BTN1A1, such as anti-BTN1A1 antibodies. These molecules include those having an antigen binding fragment that immuno specifically binds to BTN1A1 dimers, such as anti-BTN1A1 dimer antibodies. Methods of making and using these molecules are also provided, including methods of using them in cancer therapies, or as cancer diagnostics.
