Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to human programmed death ligand 2 (PD-L2). The invention further provides nucleic acids encoding the antibodies and antigen binding fragments of the invention and host cells transformed therewith. The antibodies and antigen binding proteins of the invention are useful in methods for the immunohistochemical detection of human PD-L2 expression in tissue samples.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an IHC assay for detecting and quantifying spatially proximal pairs of PD-1-expressing cells (PD-1+ cells) and PD-Ligand-expressing cells (PD-L+ cells) in tumor tissue, and the use of the assay to generate proximity biomarkers that are predictive of which cancer patients are most likely to benefit from treatment with a PD-1 antagonist. The disclosure also provides methods for testing tumor samples for the proximity biomarkers, as well as methods for treating subjects with a PD-1 antagonist based on the test results.
