摘要:
The present invention relates to stabilized IgG4 antibodies, to methods of producing such antibodies and to uses of such antibodies as a medicament. In a main aspect, the invention relates to a stabilized IgG4 antibody, comprising a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein said heavy chain comprises a human IgG4 constant region having a substitution of the Arg residue at position (409), the Phe residue at position (405) or the Lys residue at position (370).
摘要:
Use of a non-human mammalian disease model, wherein the non-human mammal has been implanted with human synovial tissue or other human inflamed tissue containing anti-CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibody producing cells for (i) analyzing cellular processes in a disease associated with anti-CCP antibodies in such human synovial tissue or other human inflamed tissue, (ii) studying the role of anti-CCP antibodies in the induction and progression of a disease associated with anti-CCP antibodies, (iii) testing the efficacy of a therapeutic agent for the prevention or treatment of a disease associated with anti-CCP antibodies, and (iv) identifying a therapeutic agent useful for the prevention or treatment of a disease associated with anti-CCP antibodies. In one embodiment the non-human mammalian disease model is a mouse, such as a SCID mouse, and the disease associated with anti-CCP antibodies is arthritis, such as RA (rheumatoid arthritis).

摘要:
The invention relates to methods and kits for assessing the risk, for an individual, of developing an adverse event upon treatment with a therapeutic antibody which is capable of Fab-arm exchange, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing a sample from an individual who is a candidate for treatment with said therapeutic antibody, b) assaying said sample for the presence of circulating IgG4 antibodies that binds an antigen known or suspected to be associated with a causative agent of said adverse event, and c) assessing, on the basis of the outcome of the assay of step b), the risk that the individual will develop said adverse event upon treatment with the therapeutic antibody, wherein the risk of development of said adverse event increases with increased level of said circulating IgG4 antibodies.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for extending the in vivo half-life of an exogenous soluble therapeutic molecule administered to a subject, by administering to said subject the exogenous soluble molecule and a monovalent antibody that binds to the exogenous soluble molecule, as well as method for treating a disease or disorder associated with an insufficient level of an endogenous soluble molecule in a subject, by administering to said subject a monovalent antibody that binds to the endogenous soluble molecule.
摘要:
The invention relates to an ex vivo method for the generation of a bispecific antibody, comprising the steps of: a) providing a first antibody having a first binding specificity, wherein said first antibody comprises an IgG4-like CH3 region, b) providing a second antibody having a second binding specificity which differs from said first binding specificity, wherein said second antibody comprises an IgG4-like CH3 region, c) incubating said first and second antibodies together under reducing conditions which allow the cysteines in the core hinge region to undergo disulfidebond isomerization, and d) obtaining a bispecific antibody. The invention furthermore relates to bispecific antibodies obtainable by the method of the invention.
