Publication number: 20240075131Abstract: This disclosure provides peptides which have a strong affinity for the checkpoint receptor “programmed death 1” (PD-1). These peptides block the interaction of PD-1 with its ligand PD-L1 and can therefore be used for various therapeutic purposes, such as inhibiting the progression of a hyperproliferative disorder, including cancer, treating infectious diseases, enhancing a response to vaccination, and treating sepsis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Gabriel M. Gutierrez, Vinayaka Kotraiah, James Pannucci, Ramses Ayala

Patent number: 11578102Abstract: This disclosure provides peptides that bind to LAG3 and can be used to block its interaction with other molecules such as MHC-II, FGL1, and ?-synuclein. These peptides, with their demonstrated activity and short half-life, can be used to activate cellular immunity while significantly reducing the potential for adverse events that is often associated with the antibody-based checkpoint inhibitors. The peptides can be used as stand-alone therapeutics or can be used as immune modulators in combination with other therapies.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Leidos, Inc.Inventors: Gabriel M. Gutierrez, James Pannucci, Vinayaka Kotraiah, Timothy W. Phares, Cecilie D. Browne
