摘要:
The present invention provides for a method for improving properties of an antibody such as an expression level and stability. A method for obtaining an antibody with an improved expression level and/or stability by modifying a human antibody or a humanized antibody, characterized by that at least any one of the amino acid residues at position 8, 12, 15 or 18 (according to Kabat numbering) in a light chain variable region (hereinafter referred to as "VL chain") of a human antibody or a humanized antibody is substituted with a different amino acid other than proline or cysteine, and a human antibody or a humanized antibody or a human antibody fragment or a humanized antibody fragment with an improved expression level and/or stability which are obtained by said method.

摘要:
Described is an improved method for the measurement of TSH in blood or body liquid by immunoassays such as EIA and RIA, characterized in that TSH-P subunit specific monoclonal antibodies recognizing different epitopes are used. According to this method, TSH can easily be measured in high sensitivity with high specificity within a very short period of time without inhibition by the presence of other glycoprotein hormones such as LH, HCG and FSH. This method is useful for diagnosis of various diseases in which TSH plays a role, such as proto- phathic hypothyroidism, Basedow's disease and cretinism.
摘要:
Described is a highly sensitive immunoassay method for determining the amounts of TSH contained in body fluids, in which an anti-β-subunit TSH monoclonal antibody having a specific association constant value is used.
摘要:
Described is an immunoassay method which makes it possible to determine the amounts of thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and human choriogonadotropin with the substantially same degrees of sensitivities for all the hormones, in which there is used a monoclonal antibody derived from a hybridoma obtained using the spleen cells of an animal immunized with only one of the hormones or its a-subunit.
摘要:
A substance effective for treating immunopathy where interleukin 6 (IL-6) is involved is provided. A human anti-human IL-6 antibody and a human anti-human IL-6 antibody fragment having a high affinity to human IL-6 were obtained using phage antibody technique. Said antibody and antibody fragment are expected to be useful as a medicament for treating inflammation and immunopathy caused by IL-6.
