摘要:
The present invention relates to anti-West Nile virus E protein (WNE) antibodies, including human antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof. In particular, the invention relates to such antibodies and portions that prevent, inhibit, or treat a flavivirus infection, including a West Nile Virus infection. The invention also relates to antibodies that are chimeric, bispecific, derivatized, single chain antibodies or that are portions of fusion proteins. The invention also relates to isolated heavy and light chain immunoglobulins derived from human anti-WNE antibodies and nucleic acid molecules encoding such immunoglobulins. The present invention also relates to methods of making human anti-WNE antibodies, compositions comprising these antibodies and methods of using the antibodies and compositions for diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment. The invention also provides gene therapy methods using nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy and/or light immunoglobulin molecules that comprise the human anti-WNE antibodies. The invention also relates to transgenic animals or plants comprising nucleic acid molecules of the present invention.
摘要:
The invention provides scFv antibodies and monoclonal antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV. Also provided are methods of treating and/or preventing a coronavirus-related disease or disorder such as SARS. The invention also provides methods of vaccinating a patient against SARS-CoV. Also provided are methods of diagnosing coronavirus-related diseases or disorders and methods of detecting the presence of a coronavirus in a sample. The invention additionally provides methods of screening for compounds that modulate the binding of SARS-CoV and the SARS-CoV receptor ACE2 as well as for compounds useful to treat SARS-CoV-related diseases or disorders.
摘要:
Disclosed is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region germline gene VHI-69. The antibody is derived from Mab G6 and recognizes the same epitope. Moreover, the antibody is used in combination with vaccines to augment an immune response to the antigen.

摘要:
The present invention comprises a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the chemokine receptor CCR4. This antibody is derived from Mab 1567 and recognizes the same epitope. Binding of the invented antibody to CCR4 inhibits ligand-mediated activities and is used to treat symptoms of cancer. Moreover, the antibody is used in combination with vaccines to suppress the activity of regulatory T cells.
摘要:
Disclosed are antibodies that bind to the stem region of influenza hemagglutinin in the neutral pH conformation, hemagglutinin epitopes in the stem region, and methods of making and using both.
