Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide antibodies having dual specificity for two different but structurally related antigens.SOLUTION: The antibodies have dual specificity for IL-1α and IL-1β and neutralize IL-1α and IL-1β activity in vitro and in vivo. The antibody is a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Methods of making and methods of using the antibodies are also provided.
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-1 alpha and IL-1 beta and neutralize IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta activity in vitro and in vivo . An antibody of the inventi on 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-1 alpha and IL-1 beta ) and for inhibiting the activity of the antigens, (e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which IL-1 alpha and/or IL-1 beta activity is detrimental.

DUAL SPECIFICITY ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING Abstract Antibodies having dual specificity for two different but structurally related antigens are provided. The antibodies can be, for example, entirely human antibodies, 5 recombinant antibodies, or monoclonal antibodies. Preferred antibodies have dual specificity for IL-la and IL-1# and neutralize IL-la and IL-l# 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 1o detecting two different but structurally related antigens (e.g., IL-la and IL-1#) and for inhibiting the activity of the antigens, (e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which IL-la and/or IL-13 activity is detrimental.
Abstract:
Un método para obtener un anticuerpo de especificidad dual o parte de unión al antígeno del mismo, que se une específicamente a dos proteínas diferentes pero relacionadas estructuralmente, comprendiendo el método: proporcionar un antígeno diseñado sobre la base del corte y empalme de partes solapantes entre sí de las dos proteínas diferentes pero relacionadas estructuralmente para crear un péptido híbrido, donde dicho péptido híbrido tiene una estructura X-Y-Z, en la que Y representa una región de identidad o de fuerte similitud entre las dos proteínas relacionadas, X representa una región de una de las proteínas relacionadas y Z representa una región de la otra de las proteínas relacionadas; exponer un repertorio de anticuerpos al antígeno; y seleccionar del repertorio un anticuerpo que se una específicamente a las dos proteínas diferentes pero relacionadas estructuralmente para obtener de esta manera el anticuerpo de especificidad dual.
