Abstract

The instant disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to LAG-3 (e.g., human LAG-3) and antagonize LAG-3 function. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, expression vectors and host cells for making these antibodies, and methods of treating a subject using these antibodies.

Claims (36)

1. An isolated antibody that specifically binds to human LAG-3, comprising a heavy chain variable region comprising complementarity determining regions CDRH1, CDRH2, and CDRH3, wherein CDRH1, CDRH2, and CDRH3 comprise the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 79, 90, and 98, respectively; and a light chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 73.

2. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 73.

3. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody comprises a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 187.

4. The isolated antibody of claim 3 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the light chain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 187.

5. An isolated antibody that specifically binds to human LAG-3, comprising a heavy chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 65; and a light chain variable region comprising complementarity determining regions CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3, wherein CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3 comprise the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 100, 104, and 105, respectively.

6. The isolated antibody of claim 5 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 65.

7. The isolated antibody of claim 5 , wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 169.

8. The isolated antibody of claim 7 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 169.

9. An isolated antibody that specifically binds to human LAG-3, comprising a heavy chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 65; and a light chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 73.

10. The isolated antibody of claim 9 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 65; and the amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 73.

11. The isolated antibody of claim 9 , wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 169.

12. The isolated antibody of claim 11 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 169.

13. The isolated antibody of claim 9 , wherein the antibody comprises a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 187.

14. The isolated antibody of claim 13 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the light chain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 187.

15. An isolated antibody that specifically binds to human LAG-3, comprising a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein the heavy chain comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 169; and the light chain comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 187.

16. The isolated antibody of claim 15 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 169.

17. The isolated antibody of claim 15 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the light chain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 187.

18. The isolated antibody of claim 15 , wherein the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 169, and the amino acid sequence of the light chain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 187.

19. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

20. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 2 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

21. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 3 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

22. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 4 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

23. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 5 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

24. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 6 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

25. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 7 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

26. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 8 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

27. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 9 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

28. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 10 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

29. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 15 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

30. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 18 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

31. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 11 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

32. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 12 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

33. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 13 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

34. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 14 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

35. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 16 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

36. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 17 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
