  • Publication number: 20250101114
    Abstract: The receptor killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) is expressed on T and NK cells, which binds to ligands on epithelial and mesenchymal cells. The ligand for KLRG1 has been described to be E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and R-cadherin. The present disclosure relates to and results from the discovery and characterization of antibodies that bind the extracellular domain (ECD) of KLRG1 but do not interfere with its interaction with the ligands E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and R-cadherin. The antibodies described have been derived by mouse hybridoma technology, and can be humanized by grafting their complementary determining regions (CDRs) into a human framework. The antibodies described can be used as effective therapeutic agents. Various antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments of such antibodies, along with various therapeutic and/or diagnostic methods, among other features, are provided for in the present disclosure.

  • Patent number: 11339222
    Abstract: A method of treating a subject can include administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1)/ligand binding agent, thereby disrupting KLRG1 signaling and activating CD8+ cytotoxic T and/or NK cells. A method of treating cancer can include administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1)/ligand binding agent. The methods can treat various cancers, for example melanoma, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioma, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer.
