摘要:
The present invention relates to heterospecific polypeptide constructs comprising at least one single domain antibody directed against a therapeutic and/or diagnostic target and at least one single domain antibody directed against a serum protein, said construct having a prolonged lifetime in biological circulatory systems. The invention further relates to methods for stabilising VHHs in biological circulatory systems.
摘要:
Compositions are disclosed comprising an effective amount of nitrated fibrinogen and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for detecting a patient's risk for coronary artery disease. The compositions can be used to determine the presence of nitrated fibrinogen which is linked with coronary artery disease. Also disclosed is a method for determining the presence or risk for coronary artery disease or risk for increased propensity for an adverse thrombotic event in a patient. The method comprises obtaining a sample of blood or fraction thereof from a patient; determining by immunoassay the amount of nitrated fibrinogen in the sample based on binding of the nitrated fibrinogen to an antibody that specifically recognizes SEQ ID NO: 2 and/or SEQ ID NO: 3; and comparing the amount of the antibody-bound nitrated fibrinogen in the sample with the amount of nitrated fibrinogen in a sample from a normal individual, such that a greater amount of nitrated fibrinogen in the patient sample than in the normal individual indicates that the patient has or is at greater risk of coronary artery disease or risk of increased propensity for an adverse thrombotic event. Kits for performing the method which include the composition and aforementioned antibody or antibodies are also provided.

摘要:
The invention relates to factor D inhibitors, which bind to factor D and block the functional activity of factor D in complement activation. The inhibitors include antibody molecules, as well as homologues, analogues and modified or derived forms thereof, including immunoglobulin fragments like Fab, F(ab′)2 and Fv, small molecules, including peptides, oligonucleotides, peptidomimetics and organic compounds. A monoclonal antibody which bound to factor D and blocked its ability to activate complement was generated and designated 166-32. The hybridoma producing this antibody was deposited at the American Type Culture Collection, 10801 University Blvd., Manassas, Va. 20110-2209, under Accession Number HB-12476.

摘要:
Various bispecific antibodies that specifically bind to both blood coagulation factor IX/activated blood coagulation factor IX and blood coagulation factor X and functionally substitute for the cofactor function of blood coagulation factor VIII, that is, the function to promote activation of blood coagulation factor X by activated blood coagulation factor IX, were produced. From these antibodies, multispecific antigen-binding molecules having a high activity of functionally substituting for blood coagulation factor VIII were successfully discovered.

The present invention relates to improved Nanobodies™ against von Willebrand Factor (vWF), as well as to polypeptides comprising or essentially consisting of one or more of such Nanobodies. The invention also relates to nucleic acids encoding such Nanobodies and polypeptides; to methods for preparing such Nanobodies and polypeptides; to host cells expressing or capable of expressing such Nanobodies or polypeptides; to compositions comprising such Nanobodies, polypeptides, nucleic acids or host cells; and to uses of such Nanobodies, such polypeptides, such nucleic acids, such host cells or such compositions, in particular for prophylactic, therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, such as the prophylactic, therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
摘要:
The invention relates to humanized anti-human Factor D monoclonal antibodies, their nucleic acid and amino acid sequences, the cells and vectors that harbor these antibodies and their use in the preparation of compositions and medicaments for treatment of diseases and disorders associated with excessive or uncontrolled complement activation. These antibodies are useful for diagnostics, prophylaxis and treatment of disease.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are monoclonal antibodies specific for factor XI (fXI) that prevent activation of fXI by factor XIIa (fXIIa). The monoclonal antibodies are universal fXI antibodies, capable of binding all mammalian species tested. The anti-fXI monoclonal antibodies prolong clotting time in mammalian plasmas. Moreover, administration of the fXI monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein results in inhibition of thrombosis without altering hemostasis in animal models of thrombosis. Thus, provided herein are monoclonal antibodies specific for fXI that block activation of fXI by fXIIa, compositions and immunoconjugates comprising such antibodies and their methods of use.
摘要:
Disclosed are novel inhibitors of the alternative complement pathway and particularly, novel anti-factor B antibodies. Also disclosed is the use of such inhibitors to reduce or prevent airway hyperresponsiveness and/or airway inflammation by selectively inhibiting the alternative complement pathway, thereby treating diseases in which such conditions play a role. Also disclosed is the use of such inhibitors to reduce or prevent other diseases and conditions, including ischemia-reperfusion injury, by inhibition of the alternative complement pathway.
