Methods of inducing cell death of an activated T cell with anti-PSGL-1 antibodies
Immunoglobulin chains or antibodies having light or heavy chain complementarity determining regions of antibodies that bind to P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand-1. Also disclosed are methods of inducing death of an activated T-cell and of modulating a T cell-mediated immune response in a subject.
1. A method of inducing death of an activated T cell, the method comprising:
contacting an antibody that binds specifically to human P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1 (PSGL-1) without interfering with binding between PSGL-1 and P-Selectin, wherein the antibody comprises a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 25, and a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 26, with an activated T cell, wherein binding of the antibody to the activated T cell induces death of the activated T cell.
2. A method of inducing death of an activated T cell, the method comprising:
contacting an antibody that binds specifically to human P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1 (PSGL-1) without interfering with binding between PSGL-1 and P-Selectin, with an activated T cell, wherein binding of the antibody to the activated T cell induces death of the activated T cell.
3. A method of treating a condition related to an excessive T cell-mediated immune response in a subject, the method comprising:
administering to a subject having or being at risk of having a condition related to an excessive T cell-mediated immune response an effective amount of an antibody that binds specifically to human P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1 (PSGL-1) without interfering with binding between PSGL-1 and P-Selectin, wherein the antibody comprises a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 25 and a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 26, thereby treating the condition related to the excessive T cell-mediated immune response.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the condition is an inflammatory disease, an autoimmune disease, an allergic disease, or a T cell cancer.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the subject has received or is contemplated to receive an allogeneic or xenogeneic transplant.
6. A method of treating a condition related to an excessive T cell-mediated immune response in a subject, the method comprising:
administering to the subject an effective amount of an antibody that binds specifically to human P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1 (PSGL-1) without interfering with binding between PSGL-1 and P-Selectin, wherein binding of the antibody to PSGL 1 expressed by an activated T cell induces death of the activated T cell, thereby treating the condition related to the excessive T cell-mediated immune response.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the condition is an inflammatory disease, an autoimmune disease, an allergic disease, or a T cell cancer.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the subject has received or is contemplated to receive an allogeneic or xenogeneic transplant.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region of human IgG1.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region of human IgG2.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region of human IgG4.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amino acid sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 25 is linked to a human kappa light chain constant region, and wherein the amino acid sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 26 is linked to a human IgG4 heavy chain constant region.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a chimeric antibody.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a humanized antibody.
15. The method of claim 3 , wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region of human IgG1.
16. The method of claim 3 , wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region of human IgG2.
17. The method of claim 3 , wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region of human IgG4.
18. The method of claim 3 , wherein the amino acid sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 25 is linked to a human kappa light chain constant region, and wherein the amino acid sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 26 is linked to a human IgG4 heavy chain constant region.
19. The method of claim 3 , wherein the antibody is a chimeric antibody.
20. The method of claim 3 , wherein the antibody is a humanized antibody.
21. A method of inducing death of an activated T cell, the method comprising:
contacting an antibody that binds specifically to human P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1 (PSGL-1) without interfering with binding between PSGL-1 and P-Selectin, wherein the antibody comprises a light chain comprising amino acid sequences provided as SEQ ID NOs: 1-3 and a heavy chain comprising amino acid sequences provided as SEQ ID NOs: 4-6, with an activated T cell expressing PSGL-1, wherein binding of the antibody to the activated T cell induces death of the activated T cell.
22. A method of treating a condition related to an excessive T cell-mediated immune response in a subject, the method comprising:
administering to a subject having or being at risk of having a condition related to an excessive T cell-mediated immune response an effective amount of an antibody that binds specifically to human P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1 (PSGL-1) without interfering with binding between PSGL-1 and P-Selectin, wherein the antibody comprises a light chain comprising SEQ ID NOs: 1-3 and a heavy chain comprising SEQ ID NOs: 4-6, thereby treating the condition related to the excessive T cell-mediated immune response.
23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the condition is an inflammatory disease, an autoimmune disease, an allergic disease, or a T cell cancer.
24. The method of claim 22 , wherein the subject has received or is contemplated to receive an allogeneic or xenogeneic transplant.
