  • Publication number: 20220112283
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides monoclonal antibodies that recognize human Nectin-2 (Nectin-2, Poliovirus Receptor-Related Protein-2, Poliovirus Receptor-Like 2, CDI12, or PRR-2, is a single pass transmembrane glycoprotein with two Ig-like C2-type domains and an Ig-like V-type domain) with high affinity and specificity and inhibit its binding to TIGIT and/or CD112R. The antibodies recognize the Nectin-2 protein (CD112), prevent its binding to T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) and CD112R (PVRIG) and inhibit suppressive activity on lymphocytes such as natural killer (NK) cells and T-cells. The disclosure further provides pharmaceutical and methods for use in cancer immunotherapy and in diagnosis. The disclosure finally further provides chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising scFv antibody binding to Nectin-2.
