Patent NZ-528265-A (NZ)
Title: Screening of compounds which modulate PD-1 signalling by testing for compounds that modulate phosphorylation of SHP-2, ERK1 or ERK-2, and PKC-theta
Inventor: WOOD CLIVE
IPC: A61P37/02
Filed: 2002-04-02
Abstract: Assays for identifying compounds which modulate signalling via PD-1 are disclosed. The assays are based on the discovery that PD-1 is a receptor for B7-4 molecules expressed on antigen presenting cells. PD-I transmits a negative signal to immune cells, similar to CTLA4. B7-4 molecules are expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells and provide a costimulatory signal to immune cells and can transmit downmodulatory signals to immune cells, depending upon the molecule to which they bind. Thus, modulation of PD-1, B7-4, and/or the interaction between B7-4 and PD-1 results in modulation of the immune response. Also described is a method for modulating an immune response comprising contacting an immune cell with an agent that modulates signalling via PD-1 to thereby modulate the immune response. The immune cell may be, for instance, a T cell, a B cell, or a myeloid cell.
