  • Patent number: 11401338
    Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are isolated antibodies that bind an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? v1 polypeptide (e.g., the D1 domain), an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? v2 polypeptide, or both. In some embodiments, the antibodies also bind an extracellular domain of a monkey SIRP-? polypeptide, an extracellular domain of a mouse SIRP-? polypeptide, an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide, and/or an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide. In some embodiments, the antibodies block or do not binding between an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide and an IgSF domain of a human CD47 polypeptide, while in some embodiments, the antibodies reduce the affinity of a human SIRP-? polypeptide for binding an IgSF domain of a human CD47 polypeptide. Further provided herein are methods, polynucleotides, vectors, and host cells related thereto.
