VSIG IgG Superfamily Members: Potential New Immunotherapeutic Drug Targets

VSIG IgG Family Members for Cancer Immunotherapy

The B7 family and other T cell co-stimulatory/co-inhibitory molecules are widely recognized as therapeutic targets for cancer immunotherapy. V-Set and Immunoglobulin domain containing (VSIG) proteins are members of the immunoglobulin protein superfamily and are increasingly recognized as potential immuno-oncology targets. In fact, R&D Systems scientists have identified VSIG3 as the ligand of VISTA-PD-1H (See poster, 1). Other unpublished results from our in-house research provide further evidence that the VSIG family plays an important role in T cell regulation.

R&D Systems exclusively offers bioactive VSIG proteins in both unlabeled and biotinylated formats for identifying binding partners and the development of novel therapies for immune checkpoint blockade.

Recombinant human VSIG3 protein binds to recombinant human VISTA/PD-1H protein Recombinant human VSIG3 protein inhibits anti-CD3 antibody Recombinant human VSIG-10L protein inhibits IFN-gamma secretion.
Recombinant Human VSIG3 binds to Recombinant Human VISTA/PD-1H in a functional binding ELISA. The concentration of VSIG3 that produced 50% optimal binding was 0.25 mg/mL (3.4 nM). Recombinant Human VSIG3 (Catalog # 9229-VS) inhibits anti-CD3 antibody induced IL-17 secretion in human PBMCs. The ED50 for this effect is 1-6 ug/mL. Recombinant Human VSIG-10L (Catalog # 9600-VS) inhibits IFN-gamma secretion by PBMCs in the presence of anti-CD3 antibody. The ED50 for this effect is 1-6 µg/mL.
Recombinant human VSIG8 protein inhibits anti-CD3 induced human CD3+ T cell proliferation   Recombinant cynomolgus monkey VSIG4 protein.
Recombinant Human VSIG8 inhibits anti-CD3 induced human CD3+ T cell proliferation. For more information on VSIG8's role as a coinhibitory ligand, see our poster.   Recombinant Cynomolgus Monkey VSIG4 (Catalog # 10155-VS) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (NR) conditions showing bands at 67-76 kDa and 130-150 kDa, respectively.
