Abstract:
The instant invention relates to low acidic species (AR) compositions comprising a protein, e.g., an antibody, or antigen-binding portion thereof, and methods, e.g., cell culture and/or protein purification methods, for producing such low AR compositions. Methods for using such compositions to treat a disorder, e.g., a disorder in which TNFα is detrimental, are also provided.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to modified antibodies, including anti-TNFα antibodies, in which C-terminal amino acids of heavy chain sequences are modified from a native sequence of proline-glycine-lysine (“PGK”) to one that includes a proline positioned between the glycine and lysine, resulting in a C-terminal sequence of proline-glycine-proline-lycine (“PGPK”). The invention further provides methods of producing and using such antibodies.

Abstract:
Antibodies having dual specificity for two different but structurally related antigens are provided. The antibodies can be, for example, entirely human antibodies, recombinant antibodies, or monoclonal antibodies. Preferred antibodies have dual specificity for IL-1α and IL-1β and neutralize IL-1α and IL-1β activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Methods of making and methods of using the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting two different but structurally related antigens (e.g., IL-1α and IL-β) and for inhibiting the activity of the antigens, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which IL-1α and/or IL-1β activity is detrimental.
