ABOUT
Anti-human VISTA - Onvatilimab biosimilar
Anti-hVISTA-hIgG1 is a biosimilar antibody of Onvatilimab, a recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting human V-domain Ig-containing suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA). This fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody binds and inhibits the engagement of VISTA with its recptor on T cells, preventing VISTA from providing negative signaling. Onvatilimab is under the investigation for the treatment of specific types of advanced solid tumors, including lung, pancreas, or colorectal cancer.
Anti-hVISTA-hIgG1 comprises the variable region of Onvatilimab and the IgG1 constant region of Onvatilimab for high effector functions.
This antibody can be used together with Raji-hVISTA cells for ADCC Fc effector function studies (see figure) as well as for antagonist assay to disrupt the inhibitory interaction between VISTA and its receptor/ligand.

Details
VISTA background
V-domain Ig-containing suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA), also known as programmed death-1 homolog (PH-1H), is a known immune checkpoint, that directly suppresses T cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production [1]. VISTA can be considered both a ligand and a receptor, whereby it transmits inhibitory signals to T cells, either extrinsically, through expression on myeloid cells (i.e., macrophage and dendritic cells) and binding to an unknown receptor on T cells, or intrinsically, through its expression on T cells (i.e., CD4+, CD8+) [2]. In the context of cancer immunotherapy, VISTA has been found to be heightened on cells that infiltrate the tumor microenvironment (TME) and not the tumor cells themselves; therefore, VISTA-blocking antibodies are of interest. These function to inhibit the engagement of VISTA with its receptor on T cells or by directly targeting VISTA expressed on naïve and effector T cells, preventing it from providing negative signaling [1, 2].
