ANTI-GITR ANTIBODIES

摘要

The invention provides antibodies that specifically bind to human GITR (hGITR) with high affinity and antagonize the binding of hGITRL to hGITR. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions, as well as nucleic acids encoding anti-GITR antibodies, recombinant expression vectors and host cells for making such antibodies, or fragments thereof. Methods of using antibodies of the invention to detect hGITR or to modulate hGITR activity, either in vitro or in vivo, are also provided by the invention.
