摘要:
The invention features antibodies, e.g., chimeric and humanized antibodies, that recognize (i.e., bind) P-selectin. The P-selectin antibodies prevent P-selectin from binding to its cognate receptor. The P-selectin antibodies can be used to treat inflammatory and thrombotic conditions, e.g., sickle cell disease, pain crisis associated with sickle cell disease, deep vein thrombosis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and ischemia reperfusion injury in a patient in need thereof.
摘要:
Antibodies are disclosed which bind specifically to P-selectin, block the binding of PSGL-1 to P-selectin, and cause dissociation of preformed P-selectin/PSGL-1 complexes. The disclosure identifies a heretofore unrecognized, near N-terminal, antibody binding domain (a conformational epitope) of P-selectin to which the antibodies (which may be chimeric, human or humanized antibodies for example) bind. Antibodies are disclosed which bind to the conformational epitope of P-selectin and which have a dual function in blocking binding of PSGL-1 to P-selectin, and in causing dissociation of preformed P-selectin/PSGL-1 complexes. Such dual function anti-P-selectin antibodies and binding fragments thereof may be used in the treatment of a variety of acute and chronic inflammatory and thrombotic disorders and conditions. Screening methods for identifying and characterizing such antibodies are also disclosed.
