Collectively, we believe our data demonstrate that VISTA.COMP is a checkpoint receptor agonist and the first agent to our knowledge targeting the putative VISTA-receptor to suppress T cell–mediated immune responses. Furthermore, we show that VISTA.COMP, but not VISTA-Fc, functions as an immunosuppressive agonist in vivo capable of prolonging the survival of skin allografts in a mouse transplant model as well as rescuing mice from acute concanavalin-A–induced hepatitis. In contrast to VISTA-Fc, VISTA.COMP does not require immobilization to inhibit the proliferation of CD4+ T cells undergoing polyclonal activation. Herein, we have designed a stable pentameric VISTA construct (VISTA.COMP) by genetically fusing its IgV domain to the pentamerization domain from the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). However, this effect required its immobilization on a solid surface, suggesting that VISTA-Fc may display limited efficacy as a VISTA-receptor agonist in vivo. A dimeric construct of the IgV domain of VISTA (VISTA-Fc) was shown to suppress the activation of T cells in vitro. The therapeutic potential of activating this immune checkpoint pathway to reduce inflammatory responses remains untapped, largely due to the inability to derive agonists targeting its unknown receptor. A film within a film, which is within yet another film.V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) is a recently discovered immune checkpoint ligand that functions to suppress T cell activity. How is acting connected with beauty? What is the relationship between cinema and what we see as attractive? As long as we're going all the way, it's also a wonderful send-up of arthouse. It is at once a comedy that will bring you to tears and a melodrama that will capture your heart. A blind sleepwalker stops a face transplant, and hydrochloric acid burns like a Chekhovian shotgun. Their shared scenes on a breakneck movie set, which is filled with various freaks, riff on political correctness. ![]() Cast in the main roles are a neurotic actress who doesn't believe in her beauty (Jess Weixler, winner of a best actress award at Sundance) and a man with neurofibromatosis (Adam Pearson, from the film Under the Skin). An odd European director is making his first English-language film. In contrast to that 1952 film, however, the 2018 version sparkles with wit, intelligence and cinematic erudition. The title comes from one of the worst films in the history of cinema: a vaudeville-style freak show with dwarves and conjoined twins. A mixture of Kubrick, Altman and the Muppets. A cheerful version of The Shining with commentary by Werner Herzog. ![]()
