Agents that specifically bind TIGIT are disclosed. The TIGIT-binding agents may include polypeptides, antibodies, and/or bispecific agents. Also disclosed are methods of using the agents for enhancing the immune response and/or treatment of diseases such as cancer.

The present invention relates to anti-TIGIT antibodies, as well as use of these antibodies in the treatment of diseases such as cancer and infectious disease.

The invention relates to an anti-human TIGIT monoclonal antibody which is particularly related to high-affinity anti-human TIGIT monoclonal antibody with blocking activity. A large-capacity fully-synthetic human phage antibody library is constructed, the specific anti-human TIGIT monoclonal antibody and the high-affinity anti-human TIGIT monoclonal antibody which is optimized after molecular evolution are screened from the human phage antibody library, and the monoclonal antibody comprises a full-human frame region and variable regions of a full-human light chain and a heavy chain.

The present invention relates to the field of disease treatment and immunology, and in particular, to anti-TIGIT antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, nucleic acid molecules encoding the anti-TIGIT antibody and the antigen-binding fragment, and a preparation method thereof. The anti-TIGIT antibody or the antigen binding fragment thereof provided by the invention has high specificity andhigh affinity to TIGIT, can effectively block the binding of TIGIT and a ligand thereof, and inhibits and/or blocks intracellular signal transduction mediated by the binding of TIGIT and the ligand thereof. Therefore, the invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising said antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, and to the use thereof in the preparation of a medicine for enhancing immune cell activity, enhancing immune response, or for preventing and/or treating tumors, infections or infectious diseases.

Dysfunctional or exhausted T cells arise in chronic diseases including chronic viral infections and cancer, and express high levels of co-inhibitory receptors. Therapeutic blockade of these receptors has clinical efficacy in the treatment of cancer. While co-inhibitory receptors are co-expressed, the triggers that induce them and the transcriptional regulators that drive their co-expression have not been identified. The immunoregulatory cytokine IL-27 induces a gene module in T cells that includes several known co-inhibitory receptors (Tim-3, Lag-3, and TIGIT). The present invention provides a novel immunoregulatory network as well as novel cell surface molecules that have an inhibitory function in the tumor microenvironment. The present invention further provides the novel discovery that the transcription factors Prdm1 and c-Maf cooperatively regulate the expression of the co-inhibitory receptor module. This critical molecular circuit underlies the co-expression of co-inhibitory receptors in dysfunctional T cells and identifies novel regulators of T cell dysfunction.

Provided is a natural killer (NK) cell killing of various tumors is inhibited in the presence of ligands of TIGIT, an inhibitory receptor present on all human NK cells and on various T cells. Monoclonal antibodies that recognize TIGIT and inhibit its suppressive activity on T-cells are provided as well as pharmaceutical compositions including them and methods for their use in cancer immunotherapy and in diagnosis and treatment of immune disorders.

The present disclosure relates to a method for treatment of disease by an anti-TIGIT antibody in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor and pharmaceutical combinations. Further, the present disclosure relates to the treatment of human TIGIT-related diseases (e.g., tumors) in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody) with a drug of an anti-TIGIT antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

Anti-TIGIT antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that inhibit TIGIT-mediated signalling are provided, together with combinations comprising said antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof and methods for their use.

Anti-PVRIG and anti-TIGIT antibodies are provided.

The invention provides a pancreatic cancer detection reagent, a pancreatic cancer detection kit, a pancreatic cancer detection device and application. The detection reagent comprises antibodies of anytwo or more of the following molecular markers, wherein CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD68 belong to a group A, CD11b, CD14, CD33, CD45RO, CD57, CD66b, CD163, FoxP3, LAG3, PD1, PDL1, TIGIT, panCK and TIM3 belongto a group B, and at least one molecular marker is selected from the group B. Detecting pancreatic cancer through the antibodies of two or more of the molecular markers provided by the invention hasthe advantages of high detection sensitivity and excellent specificity. Thus, the molecular markers are suitable for a multiple immunohistochemistry method to detect tumor microenvironment of a pancreatic cancer patient and are very advantageous, and consequently, whether the patient has a longer lifetime can be accurately predicted relatively, namely, prognosis is better.

Methods for enhancing the immune response and/or treatment of diseases such as cancer comprising an agent that specifically binds TIGIT are disclosed. The TIGIT-binding agents may include polypeptides, antibodies, and/or bispecific agents.

The invention provides a recombinant fusion protein TIGIT-Fc and application in resisting transplant rejection thereof. The linear tandem polypeptide is capable of inducing specific T cell response toexert an immunoprotective effect. The amino acid sequence of the recombinant fusion protein TIGIT-Fc is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The nucleotide sequence for encoding the recombinant fusion protein TIGIT-Fc is shown in SEQ. ID. NO: 2. The recombinant fusion protein TIGIT-Fc can effectively regulate macrophage polarization by interfering CD226/TIGIT-CD155 signaling pathways, which is conducive to theinduction of allograft tolerance.

The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a gene-modified TIGIT protein, a monoclonal antibody thereof and application of the gene-modified TIGIT protein to glycosylation modification of TIGIT to obtain an optimized glycosylated TIGIT protein, and a murine monoclonal antibody is prepared by immunization of the protein. The anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody obtained bythe invention has the characteristics of high specificity and mass production, and the titer of the obtained antibody reaches 1*10<5> or above. The anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody obtained by the invention can be specifically combined with TIGIT protein, can be used for immunological detection of cells, has a wide market prospect, and has important clinical significance for further developing biological treatment drugs taking TIGIT as a target.
