  • Patent number: 11752189
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a peptide, multimer, conjugate, analog, derivative or mimetic thereof that inhibits the activity of VISTA. The invention further contemplates therapeutic use of the VISTA antagonist peptide, multimer, conjugate, derivative or mimetic thereof, including treating or preventing cancer, bacterial infections, viral infections, parasitic infections and fungal infections, as well as research uses of the antagonist.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 31, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2023
    Assignees: THE TRUSTEES OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE, KING'S COLLEGE LONDON

  • Patent number: 11603403
    Abstract: The invention provides agonistic anti-human VISTA antibodies and antibody fragments. 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 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.

  • Publication number: 20210147521
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fusion proteins comprising regulatory T cell protein, VISTA (V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppressor of T cell Activation (PD-L3) and an immunoglobulin protein (Ig), preferably also containing a flexible linker intervening the VISTA and Ig Fc polypeptide. The invention also provides the use of VISTA polypeptides, multimeric VISTA polypeptides, VISTA-conjugates (e.g., VISTA-Ig), and VISTA antagonists for the treatment of autoimmune disease, allergy, and inflammatory conditions, especially lupus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease and type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
