摘要:
The present invention provides novel antibodies and methods for using recombinant antigen-binding regions and antibodies and functional fragments containing such antigen-binding regions that are specific for CD38, which plays an integral role in various disorders or conditions. These methods take advantage of newly discovered antibodies and surprising properties of such antibodies, such as the ability to bind CD38 of minipig origin and the ability to induce, by cross-linking, specific killing of cells that express CD38. There antibodies as well as the novel methods for using those antibodies can be used to treat, for example, hematological malignancies such as multiple myeloma.

The present invention provides anti-GM-CSF antibodies for use in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Anti-GM-CSF antibodies, in particular MOR103, are administered to patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis at dosages that are beneficial in a clinical setting.
摘要:
The invention provides a human antibody that is specific for CD38. The antibody of the invention has the ability to bind to CD38 of minipig origin and induce, by cross-linking, specific killing of cells, in particular tumor cells, expressing CD38. The invention further provides uses of this antibody for treating various disorders and conditions associated with undesired presence of CD38+ cells, including hematological and inflammatory diseases. The invention also provides diagnostic compositions and methods based on detecting the presence of CD38 in a tissue or a cell of minipig origin contacted with the antibody of the invention.
摘要:
The present disclosure enables collections of variable heavy chain and variable light chain pairs comprising, in part, germline protein sequences that are pre-selected for functional properties relevant to developability, wherein the collections may be used to select against any antigen using, for example, phage display.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the preparation and use of a collection of antibody heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (HCDR3) members, where diversity of the collection is a function of the length of the HCDR3 members. The diversity of the collection of HCDR3 regions substantially represents the natural amino acid distribution of HCDR3 in the human repertoire. This natural amino acid distribution can be represented by biasing the complete random distribution of amino acids, accordingly, in the HCDR3 encoding DNA sequence by using trinucleotide mutagenesis (TRIM) technology. A collection of HCDR3 members of the invention each can be comprised within a variable region of an antibody (or fragment thereof) to form a library of synthetic antibodies or antibody fragments. Synthetic antibody libraries of the present invention may be designed to include modular features, such as chemically synthesized 'master gene' framework regions, which may contain unique restriction sites flanking one or more CDR regions, including an HCDR3 region prepared as described herein. The invention also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding such diverse collection and methods of making and using the same.
