Abstract: This invention, in at least some embodiments, relates to a protein C1ORF32 and its variants and fragments and fusion proteins thereof, and methods of use thereof for immunotherapy, and drug development, including but not limited to as immune modulators and for immune therapy, including for autoimmune disorders and including for inducing tolerance to a specific antigen.

Abstract: Fusion proteins containing B7-H4 polypeptides are disclosed. The B7-H4 fusion proteins can include full-length B7-H4 polypeptides, or can contain a fragment of a full-length B7-H4 polypeptide, including some or all of the extracellular domain of the B7-H4 polypeptide. Methods for using the fusion proteins to downregulate T cell activation and for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and disorders are also disclosed. The B7-H4 fusion proteins are useful for treating inflammation by inhibiting or reducing differentiation, proliferation, activity, and/or cytokine production and/or secretion by ThI, ThI 7, Th22, and/or other cells that secrete, or cause other cells to secrete, inflammatory molecules, including, but not limited to, IL-1?, TNF-?, TGF-beta, IFN-?, IL-17, IL-6, IL-23, IL-22, IL-21, and MMPs; or enhancing IL-IO secretion by Tregs, increasing the differentiation of Tregs, increasing the number of Tregs, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Isolated cell surface receptors for B7-H4 have been identified based on function. B7-H4 receptor activation by B7-H4 on the dendritic cell, T follicular helper cell and germinal center B cell membrane stimulates inhibitory signaling in those leukocytes. B7-H4 receptor activation decreases production and/or secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, and promotes anti-inflammatory cytokine by mature DC and T cells. Modulators of B7-H4 receptor polypeptides and methods for their therapeutic use are also provided.

Abstract: Fusion proteins containing B7-II4 polypeptides are disclosed. The B7-H4 fusion proteins can include full-length B7-H4 polypeptides, or can contain a fragment of a full-length B7-H4 polypeptide, including some or all of the extracellular domain of the B7-H4 polypeptide.
