摘要:
The present invention provides binding proteins and antigen-binding fragments thereof, including human antibodies, that specifically bind to the human interleukin-21 receptor (IL-21R), and methods of using them. The binding proteins can act as, e.g., antagonists of IL-21R activity, thereby modulating immune responses in general, and those mediated by IL-21R in particular. The disclosed compositions and methods may be used, e.g., in diagnosing, treating, and/or preventing IL-21R-associated disorders, e.g., inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, allergies, transplant rejection, and other immune system disorders.

摘要:
The present invention provides human binding proteins and antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to the human interleukin-21 receptor (IL21R), and uses therefore. The invention further provides methods to predict whether the binding proteins of the invention may take on agonistic activities in vivo and produce a cytokine storm. In addition, the invention provides methods for determining whether an anti-IL21R binding protein is a neutralizing anti-IL21R binding protein, based on the identification of several IL21-responsive genes. The binding proteins can act as, e.g., antagonists of IL21R activity, thereby modulating immune responses in general, and those mediated by IL21R in particular.
摘要:
The invention provides polynucleotide vectors and linkers and methods for designing and making single chain variable fragment (“ScFv”) libraries. The invention also provides polynucleotide vectors and linkers and methods for reformatting the ScFv library into Fab and IgG formats for high throughput production and screening.
