1. A variant CD112 polypeptide, comprising an IgV domain or both an IgV domain and an IgC domain;
wherein the variant CD112 polypeptide comprises the amino acid substitution A112V or A112I in an unmodified CD112 with reference to positions set forth in SEQ ID NO:48, wherein the unmodified CD112 comprises the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:48 or a portion thereof comprising an IgV domain;
wherein the variant CD112 polypeptide comprises a sequence of amino acids that exhibits at least 85% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:48 or the portion thereof comprising the IgV domain; and
wherein the variant CD112 polypeptide specifically binds to the ectodomain of TIGIT with increased affinity compared to the binding of the unmodified CD112 to the same ectodomain of TIGIT.
