摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of reengineering or reshaping antibodies to reduce the immunogenicity of the antibodies, while maintaining the immunospecificity of the antibodies for an antigen. In particular, the present invention provides methods of producing antibodies immunospecific for an antigen by synthesizing a combinatorial library comprising complementarity determining regions (CDRs) from a donor antibody fused in frame to framework regions from a sub-bank of framework regions. The present invention also provides antibodies produced by the methods of the invention.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of re-engineering or re-shaping an antibody from a first species, wherein the re-engineered or re-shaped antibody does not elicit undesired immune response in a second species, and the re-engineered or re-shaped antibody retains substantially the same antigen binding-ability of the antibody from the first species. In accordance with the present invention, a combinatorial library comprising the CDRs of the antibody from the first species fused in frame with framework regions derived from a second species can be constructed and screened for the desired modified antibody. In particular, the present invention provides methods utilizing low homology acceptor antibody frameworks for efficiently humanizing an antibody or a fragment thereof. The present invention also provides antibodies produced by the methods of the invention.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods for preventing, managing, treating and/or ameliorating a Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection (e.g., acute RSV disease, or a RSV upper respiratory tract infection (URI) and/or lower respiratory tract infection (LRI)), otitis media (preferably, stemming from, caused by or associated with a RSV infection, such as a RSV URI and/or LRI), and/or a symptom or respiratory condition relating thereto (e.g., asthma, wheezing, and/or reactive airway disease (RAD)) in a subject, comprising administering to said human an effective amount of one or more antibodies that immunospecifically bind to one or more RSV antigens with a high affinity and/or high avidity. In some embodiments, one or more antibodies comprise a modified IgG constant domain, or FcRn-binding fragment thereof resulting in longer in vivo serum half-life. In particular embodiments the methods of the invention comprising administering to subject an effective amount of one or more modified antibodies that immunospecifically bind to one or more RSV antigens with an association rate (kon) of at least 2×105 M−1s−1 and a dissociation rate (koff) of less than 5×10−4 s−1.
摘要:
The present invention provides molecules, including IgGs, non-IgG immunoglobulin, proteins and non-protein agents, that have increased in vivo half-lives due to the presence of an IgG constant domain, or a portion thereof that binds the FcRn, having one or more amino acid modifications that increase the affinity of the constant domain or fragment for FcRn. Such proteins and molecules with increased half-lives have the advantage that smaller amounts and or less frequent dosing is required in the therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic use of such molecules.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a molecule comprising an albumin binding domain (ABD) and an FcRn binding moiety, wherein said molecule has enhanced pharmacologic properties in vivo.

摘要:
The present invention provides polypeptides containing at least the FcRn binding portion of an Fc region of an immunoglobulin molecule and that have altered amino acid sequences relative to wild type immunoglobulin molecules. The polypeptides have decreased in vivo serum half-lives and can be employed in various methods.
