CA 2575607

The present invention relates to the identification of 4Ig-B7-H3 protein as a tumor associated molecule that imparts protection from NK cell-mediated lysis via a 4Ig-B7-H3 receptor on NK cells. The invention provides compounds that interfere with interactions between the 4Ig-B7-H3 protein and its receptor that can be used to potentiate NK cell cytotoxicity. Also provided are compounds that bind 4Ig-B7-H3-expressing cells so as to inhibit or eliminate them. The compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of tumors, inflammatory conditions, infections and transplantation. Also provided are methods for diagnosing disease by detecting a 4Ig-B7-H3 protein.

La présente invention concerne l'identification de la protéine 4Ig-B7-H3 en tant que molécule associée à une tumeur qui empêche la lyse médiée par les cellules NK via un récepteur de la 4Ig-B7-H3 présent sur les cellules NK. L'invention concerne des composés qui interfèrent avec les interactions entre la protéine 4Ig-B7-H3 et son récepteur qu'on peut utiliser pour rendre la cytotoxicité des cellules NK possible. L'invention concerne également des composés qui se lient aux cellules exprimant la 4Ig-B7-H3 de façon à les inhiber ou à les éliminer. Les composés sont particulièrement utiles dans le traitement de tumeurs, d'affections inflammatoires, d'infections et de transplantations. L'invention concerne également des procédés servant à diagnostiquer une maladie en détectant une protéine 4Ig-B7-H3.
