    摘要: The present invention provides multispecific antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, that potently neutralize a cytokine and that may thus be useful in the prevention and/or treatment of inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases. In particular, the present invention provides a multispecific antibody, or an antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising at least two different domains specifically binding to at least two different, non-overlapping sites in a cytokine and an Fc moiety. The invention also relates to nucleic acids that encode such antibodies and antibody fragments and immortalized B cells and cultured plasma cells that produce such antibodies and antibody fragments. In addition, the invention relates to the use of the antibodies and antibody fragments of the invention in screening methods as well as in the diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment of inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases.

    摘要: The invention relates to antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind to an epitope in the stem region of an influenza A hemagglutinin trimer and neutralize a group 1 subtype and a group 2 subtype of influenza A virus. The invention also relates to nucleic acids that encode, immortalized B cells and cultured single plasma cells that produce, and to epitopes that bind to such antibodies and antibody fragments. In addition, the invention relates to the use of the antibodies, antibody fragments, and epitopes in screening methods as well as in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of influenza A virus infection.
