摘要:
A medicament for treating FcγRIIIa polymorphism patients who cannot be treated by a medicament comprising as an active ingredient an antibody composition produced by a cell unresistant to a lectin which recognizes a sugar chain in which 1-position of fucose is bound to 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine in the reducing end through α-bond in a complex N-glycoside-linked sugar chain, which comprises as an active ingredient an antibody composition produced by a cell resistant to a lectin which recognizes a sugar chain in which 1-position of fucose is bound to 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine in the reducing end through α-bond in a complex N-glycoside-linked sugar chain.
摘要:
Chimeric human antibody expression vectors are constructed by inserting the antibody heavy chain variable region-encoding cDNA and antibody light chain variable region-encoding cDNA isolated from hybridomas producing a mouse or rat monoclonal antibody reacting with the ganglioside GM2 respectively into an expression vector for use in animal cells which contains the human antibody heavy chain constant region- or human antibody light chain constant region-encoding cDNA. The expression vectors are introduced into animal cells and the transformant thus obtained is cultured for the production of a chimeric human antibody reacting with the ganglioside GM2. In contrast to mouse monoclonal antibodies, the chimeric human antibodies of the invention will not cause anti-mouse immunoglobulin antibody production in the patient's body but shows a prolonged blood half-life, with a reduced frequency of adverse effects, so that it can be expected to be superior to mouse monoclonal antibodies in the efficacy in the treatment of human cancer, for instance.

摘要:
Medicaments for treating diseases related to HB-EGF escalation are in demand. The present invention provides a monoclonal antibody or an antibody fragment thereof which binds to a cell membrane-bound HB-EGF, a membrane type HB-EGF and a secretory HB-EGF.
摘要:
The present invention provides an antibody or peptide which immunologically reacts with human VEGF receptor Flt-1 and cells in which human VEGF receptor Flt-1 is expressed on the cell surface and an antibody or peptide which inhibits binding of human VEGF to human VEGF receptor Flt-1. It also provides a means for the diagnosis or treatment of diseases in which their morbid states progress by abnormal angiogenesis, such as proliferation or metastasis of solid tumors, arthritis in rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, psoriasis, and the like.

摘要:
It is demanded that pharmaceutical agents for therapeutic treatment of diseases such as cancer, acromegaly and diabetic complications, of which IGF is involved in the progress of the conditions.The present invention provides a recombinant antibody or an antibody fragment thereof which specifically binds to human insulin-like growth factor-I (hereinafter referred to as hIGF-I) and human insulin-like growth factor-II (hereinafter referred to as hIGF-II) to inhibit the biological activities of human IGF-I and human IGF-II, a transformant producing the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof, a process for producing the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof, and a medicament comprising the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof as the active ingredient therein.
摘要:
For the effective treatment of diseases such as cancer in which hIGF participates, there have been desired to be developed antibodies which strongly bind to both factors hIGF-I and hIGF-II and inhibit their functions and fragments of these antibodies. The present invention provides antibodies which have the ability to specifically bind to human IGF-I and IGF-II to thereby inhibit the functions of human IGF-I and IGF-II and have binding activity with a binding constant of 5×109 M−1 or more measured with a biosensor BIACORE. In addition, the present invention provides diagnostics, preventives and remedies for an hIGF-mediated disease and a disease showing pathological progressing due to abnormally promoted hIGF production, which use said antibodies.
摘要:
