Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide antibody molecules having specificity to epitopes of both IL-17A and IL-17F, therapeutic use of the antibody molecules, and a method of producing the antibody molecules.SOLUTION: There are provided anti-IL-17 antibodies which can bind to both IL-17A and IL-17F. The antibodies can specifically bind to both IL-17A and IL-17F, that is, the antibodies do not bind to the other isoforms of IL-17. The antibodies can inhibit biological activity of both IL-17A and IL-17F. There is also provided use of the antibodies in treatment and/or prevention of diseases mediated by either or both of IL-17A or IL-17F, such as autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease or cancer.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibody molecule having specificity to an antigenic determinant of IL-17, to provide a therapeutic use of the antibody molecule, and to provide a method for forming the antibody molecule.SOLUTION: A neutralizing antibody including a heavy chain and binding to human IL-17 is regulated so that the variable domain of the heavy chain may contain at least one of a CDR having a sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 as the CDR-H1, a CDR having a sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 as the CDR-H2, and a CDR having a sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 3 as the CDR-H3.
Abstract:
The invention relates to antibody molecules having specificity for antigenic determinants of human OX40, therapeutic uses of the antibody molecules and methods for producing said antibody molecules.
Abstract:
A multivalent antibody fusion protein which comprises an immunoglobulin moiety, for example a Fab or Fab' fragment, with a first specificity for an antigen of interest, and further comprises two single domain antibodies (dAb) with specificity for a second antigen of interest, wherein the two single domain antibodies are linked by a disulfide bond. There is also provided particular dual specificity antibody fusion proteins comprising a Fab or Fab' fragment and one or more single domain antibodies which may be stabilised by a disulfide bond therebetween.
Abstract:
This invention provides binding proteins, including antibodies, antibody derivatives and antibody fragments, that specifically bind a CD154 (CD40L) protein. This invention also provides a chimeric, humanized or fully human antibody, antibody derivative or antibody fragment that specifically binds to an epitope to which a humanized Fab fragment comprising a variable heavy chain sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1 and comprising a variable light chain sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2 specifically binds. CD154 binding proteins of this invention may elicit reduced effector function relative to a second anti-CD154 antibody. CD154 binding proteins of this invention are useful in diagnostic and therapeutic methods, such as in the treatment and prevention of diseases including those that involve undesirable immune responses that are mediated by CD154-CD40 interactions.

Abstract:
The present invention provides an antibody of the class IgG4 comprising at least one heavy chain which comprises a CH1 domain and a hinge region, wherein in each heavy chain: a. the inter-chain cysteine at position 127, numbered according to the Kabat numbering system, in the CH1 domain is substituted with another amino acid; and b. one or more of the amino acids positioned in the upper hinge region is substituted with cysteine.
Abstract:
A multivalent antibody fusion protein which comprises an immunoglobulin moiety, for example a Fab or Fab' fragment, with a first specificity for an antigen of interest, and further comprises two single domain antibodies (dAb) with specificity for a second antigen of interest which are a VH/VL pair, wherein the two single domain antibodies are linked by a disulfide bond. Also provided are particular dual specificity antibody fusion proteins and other antibody fragments which are stabilised by a disulfide bond.
