摘要:
Novel methods for producing, and compositions of, humanized immunoglobulins having one or more complementarity determining regions (CDR's) and possible additional amino acids from a donor immunoglobulin and a framework region from an accepting human immunoglobulin are provided. Each humanized immunoglobulin chain will usually comprise, in addition to the CDR's, amino acids from the donor immunoglobulin framework that are, e.g., capable of interacting with the CDR's to effect binding affinity, such as one or more amino acids which are immediately adjacent to a CDR in the donor immunoglobulin or those within about about 3 .ANG. as predicted by molecular modeling. The heavy and light chains may each be designed by using any one or all of various position criteria. When combined into an intact antibody, the humanized immunoglobulins of the present invention will be substantially non-immunogenic in humans and retain substantially the same affinity as the donor immunoglobulin to the antigen, such as a protein or other compound containing an epitope.

The present invention provides antibodies that immunospecifically bind to a polypeptide of a mammalian metapneumovirus, compositions comprising said antibodies, and methods for producing such antibodies. In particular, the invention provides monoclonal antibodies that immunospecifically bind to the F protein of human metapneumovirus and that neutralize human metapneumovirus. The invention also provides antibodies that cross-react with both the F protein of a mammalian metapneumovirus and the F protein of a mammalian respiratory syncytial virus and that neutralize both viruses. Further, the invention provides recombinant antibodies, such as humanized antibodies, against mammalian metapneumovirus, and methods for producing such recombinant antibodies. The invention further provides methods for treating, managing, ameliorating symptoms of and/or preventing infections with mammalian metapneumovirus, such as human metapneumovirus. The invention also provides antibodies that immunospecifically bind the F protein of avian pneumovirus. Antibodies that immunospecifically bind the F protein of avian pneumovirus are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of infections with avian pneumovirus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to recombinant bovine parainfluenza virus (bPIV) cDNA or RNA which may be used to express heterologous gene products in appropriate host cell systems and/or to rescue negative strand RNA recombinant viruses that express, package, and/or present the heterologous gene product. The chimeric viruses and expression products may advantageously be used in vaccine formulations including vaccines against a broad range of pathogens and antigens.
