The present invention relates to a fusion proteins comprising regulatory T cell protein, VISTA (V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppressor of T cell Activation (PD-L3) and an immunoglobulin protein (Ig), preferably also containing a flexible linker intervening the VISTA and Ig Fc polypeptide. The invention also provides the use of VISTA polypeptides, multimeric VISTA polypeptides, VISTA-conjugates (e.g., VISTA-Ig), and VISTA antagonists for the treatment of autoimmune disease, allergy, and inflammatory conditions, especially lupus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease and type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

VISTA-Ig constructs and the use of VISTA-Ig for treatment of autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory disorders

The present invention relates to a fusion proteins comprising regulatory T cell protein, VISTA (V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppressor of T cell Activation (PD-L3) and an immunoglobulin protein (Ig). The invention also provides the use of VISTA polypeptides, multimeric VISTA polypeptides, VISTA-conjugates (e.g., VISTA-Ig), and VISTA antagonists for the treatment of autoimmune disease, allergy, and inflammatory conditions.

VISTA-Ig for treatment of autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory disorders

The present invention is directed to a peptide, multimer, conjugate, analog, derivative or mimetic thereof that inhibits the activity of VISTA. The invention further contemplates therapeutic use of the VISTA antagonist peptide, multimer, conjugate, derivative or mimetic thereof, including treating or preventing cancer, bacterial infections, viral infections, parasitic infections and fungal infections, as well as research uses of the antagonist.
