    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.
