Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibody which binds to human interleukin-18 (hIL-18), to provide a method for producing the same; and to provide a method for using the same. SOLUTION: There are provided a neutrally binding protein which is an antibody comprising immune globulin heavy chain and light chain having specific amino acid sequences and specifically binding to human IL-18, and has an ability to neutralize IL-18; a method for producing the antibody; and a use for detecting hIL-18 or treating a human testee suffering from a disease wherein the activity of hIL-18 is harmful.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide engineered multivalent and multispecific binding proteins, methods for making the proteins, and methods for using the proteins in the prevention and/or treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory and other diseases.SOLUTION: The binding protein comprises a polypeptide chain, wherein the polypeptide chain comprises VD1-(X1)-VD2-C-(X2), wherein VD1 is a first variable domain, VD2 is a second variable domain, C is a constant domain, X1 represents an amino acid or polypeptide, X2 represents an Fc region and n is 0 or 1.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new family of a binding protein, and a human antibody and its fragment, which have a capacity to bind to IL-18, binds with a high affinity, and neutralizes the IL-18 by binding to it.SOLUTION: The present invention includes an IL-18 binding protein, particularly an antibody which binds to a human interleukin-18 (hIL-18). Concretely, the invention relates to an antibody which is an entirely human antibody. The antibody has the high affinity for the hIL-18, and/or neutralizes an hIL-18 activity in vitro and in vivo. The antibody can be of a full-length or an antigen binding portion thereof. The method of making the antibody is also provided. The antibody, or the antibody portion is useful for detecting the hIL-18, and for medically treating a human subject suffering from a disorder in which the hIL-18 is detrimental, based on an hIL-18 activity inhibition.
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:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a perfect human antibody IL-18 as a preferred IL-18 inhibitor, because parts of a chimera and humanized antibodies still remain as a murine sequence, and therefore, may cause an undesirable immune reaction if they are administered over a long period.SOLUTION: The present invention includes an antigen binding to a human interleukin-18, particularly an antigen binding to an epitope of a human IL-18. The antibody can be, for example, an entirely human antibody, a recombinant antibody, or monoclonal antibody. A preferred antibody has the high affinity for the hIL-18, and/or neutralizes an hIL-18 activity in vitro and in vivo. The antibody can be of a full-length or an antigen binding portion thereof. The methods of making and using the antibody are also provided. The antibody, or the antibody portion is useful for detecting the hIL-18, and also useful, for example, for inhibiting a hIL-18 activity in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which the hIL-18 is detrimental.

A preferable antibody has high affinity with hIL-18, or neutralizes the activity of hIL-18 in vitro or in vivo. The antibody may be a total length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. A method for producing the antibody and a method for using the same are also provided. The antibody or antibody portion is useful for detecting hIL-18 and for inhibiting the activity of hIL-18, for example, in a human testee suffering from a disease wherein the activity of the hIL-18 is harmful.
