摘要:
A member of a specific binding pair (sbp) is identified by expressing DNA encoding a genetically diverse population of such sbp members in recombinant host cells in which the sbp members are displayed in functional form at the surface of a secreted recombinant genetic display package (rgdp) containing DNA encoding the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof, by virtue of the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof being expressed as a fusion with a capsid component of the rgdp. The displayed sbps may be selected by affinity with a complementary sbp member, and the DNA recovered from selected rgdps for expression of the selected sbp members. Antibody sbp members may be thus obtained, with the different chains thereof expressed, one fused to the capsid component and the other in free form for association with the fusion partner polypeptide. A phagemid may be used as an expression vector, with said capsid fusion helping to package the phagemid DNA. Using this method libraries of DNA encoding respective chains of such multimeric sbp members may be combined, thereby obtaining a much greater genetic diversity in the sbp members than could easily be obtained by conventional methods.

摘要:
Specific binding members comprising human antibody antigen binding domains specific for human transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) bind specifically isoforms TGFβ2 and TGFβ1 or both, preferentially compared with TGFβ3. Specific binding members may be isolated and utilised in the treatment of disease, particularly fibrotic disease and also immune/inflammatory diseases. Therapeutic utility is demonstrated using in vitro and in vivo models. Full sequence and binding information is provided, including epitope sequence information for a particularly advantageous specific binding member which binds the active form of TGFβ2, neutralising its activity, but does not bind the latent form.
