✦ Synopsis

We previously discovered a hamster monoclonal antibody, TAB4, against mouse PSGL-1/CD162 that can induce death of activated T cells. Here, we further investigated the potential of TAB4 in treating two murine models of T cell-mediated diseases. The results showed that administration of TAB4 suppressed incidence and severity of both GVHD and type I diabetes. Analyses of apoptotic T cells ex vivo shortly after antibody injection revealed a higher percentage of apoptosis among activated T cells in the TAB4-treated group than in the control group. Furthermore, restoration of functional donor T cells was observed in TAB4-treated mice. As TAB4 does not affect the binding of P-selectin to activated T cells, our data suggest that its long-lasting therapeutic effect on inhibiting disease progression is attained by specifically inducing apoptosis of activated T cells. These data hence extend our previous finding of the novel property of PSGL-1 and strongly indicate that the PSGL-1-specific apoptosis-inducing antibody is a new therapeutic agent possessing a great potential for controlling GVHD and other T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.

## Abstract Tumor cells express tumor‐associated antigens (TAAs), which can serve as targets for the immune system. However, the majority of TAAs are overexpressed products of normal cellular genes; as such, self‐tolerance mechanisms have hindered their use for the induction of effective antitumor
