1. A method of treating or ameliorating a cancer, which comprises:
administering to a subject in need of such treatment or amelioration an effective amount of:
a derivative of LAG-3 protein that is able to bind to MHC class II molecules, wherein the derivative comprises domains D1 and D2 of human LAG-3 protein, and wherein the derivative is fused to an Immunoglobulin Fc sequence; and
an anti-neoplastic agent, wherein the anti-neoplastic agent is a platinum-based anti-neoplastic agent or a topoisomerase I inhibitor; and
synergistically reducing tumor growth in the subject, the synergistic reduction of tumor growth being more than a sum of a reduction of tumor growth caused by administration to the subject of the derivative alone and the anti-neoplastic agent alone.
