The present invention provides compositions comprising peptides derived from amino acid sequences (or from combinations thereof) of fusion and other protein regions of various viruses, including but not limited to, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, herpesvirus saimiri, human herpesvirus 6, Lassa virus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, Mopeia virus, Tacaribe virus, Friend murine leukemia virus; human T lymphotropic virus type 1; herpesvirus ateles; Marburg virus; Sudan Ebola virus; Zaire Ebola virus, and comprising L- and/or D-amino acids and combinations thereof, which affect T cells by acting on the T cell antigen receptor (TCR). More specifically, the peptides act on the TCR-CD3-CD3- signaling complex. Yet more specifically, the peptides act on the TCR/CD3/ signaling module of TCR. The present invention further relates to the prevention and therapy of various T cell-related disease states involving the use of these compositions. Specifically, the compositions are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of a disease or condition where T cells are involved or recruited. The compositions of the present invention also are useful in the production of medical devices comprising peptide matrices (for example, medical implants and implantable devices).

The use of anti-LAG3 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof in immuno-PET imaging of tumors and treating patients are provided, along with compositions, formulations, and kits comprising the anti-LAG3 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof.

Radiolabeled anti-LAG3 antibodies and their use in immuno-PET imaging are provided herein. Included are methods of detecting the presence of LAG3 proteins in a patient or sample.

An antibody specifically binding to TIGIT or an antigen-binding fragment thereof can effectively block the binding of TIGIT to a ligand thereof and release the inhibitory effect of the ligand of TIGIT on a downstream signal of TIGIT. The present invention further relates to a composition containing the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a nucleic acid coding the antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof, a host cell containing the nucleic acid, and a related use. In addition, the present invention also relates to treatment and diagnosis uses of the antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof.

The present disclosure relates to a bispecific antibody capable of specifically binding PVRIG and TIGIT, which can modulate the function of immune cells and can be used as a drug to treat diseases related to immune abnormalities, such as tumors.

The invention described herein is related to antibodies directed to the antigen TIM-1 and uses of such antibodies. In particular, there are provided fully human monoclonal antibodies directed to the antigen TIM-1. Isolated polynucleotide sequences encoding, and amino acid sequences comprising, heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules, particularly sequences corresponding to contiguous heavy and light chain sequences spanning the framework regions (FR's) and/or complementarity determining regions (CDR's), specifically from FR1 through FR4 or CDR1 through CDR3, are provided. Hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such immunoglobulin molecules and monoclonal antibodies are also provided.
