This invention relates to methods of screening for anti-PACAP antibodies, or anti-PACAP receptor antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, for potential use in treating or preventing PACAP-associated photophobia or light aversion, and therapeutic compositions containing and methods of using anti-PACAP antibodies, or anti-PACAP receptor antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof.
RABBIT ANTIBODIES TO HUMAN IMMUNOGLOBULINS G
This disclosure anti-human IgG antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof derived from rabbits and methods of using these antibodies and portions.
Anti-human IgG4 monoclonal antibody and methods of making and using same
Provided are: a monoclonal antibody against human IgG4, for which the epitope is present in the CH3 of human IgG4 given by SEQ ID NO: 4; a hybridoma that produces the monoclonal antibody; a method for detecting IgG4 using the monoclonal antibody; and a kit used in this method.
Anti-PACAP antibodies and uses thereof
The present invention is directed to antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof having binding specificity for PACAP. The antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof comprise the sequences of the V.sub.H, V.sub.L, and CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them. Antibodies and antigen binding fragments described herein bind to and/or compete for binding to the same linear or conformational epitope(s) on human PACAP as an anti-PACAP antibody. The invention contemplates conjugates of anti-PACAP antibodies and binding fragments thereof conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. Methods of making said anti-PACAP antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof are also contemplated. Other embodiments of the invention contemplate using anti-PACAP antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, for the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with PACAP and conditions where antagonism of PACAP-related activities, such as vasodilation, photophobia, mast cell degranulation, and/or neuronal activation, would be therapeutically beneficial.
Methods of treating cancer with human monoclonal antibodies against interleukin 8 (IL-8)
Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to IL-8 (e.g., human IL-8) are disclosed. The human antibodies can be produced in a hybridoma, transfectoma or in a non-human transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, capable of producing multiple isotypes of human monoclonal antibodies by undergoing V-D-J recombination and isotype switching. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human antibodies, non-human transgenic animals, hybridomas, and transfectomas which produce the human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the human antibodies.
Antibodies against 4G7-derived chimeric antigen receptors
Provided herein are isolated antibodies that specifically bind anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) derived from a 4G7 scFv. Also provided are methods of making and using these isolated antibodies.
ANTI-POLYMERIC IgA ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE
The invention provides anti-polymeric IgA (plgA) antibodies and methods of using the same.
Method for determining anti-drug antibodies in a minipig sample
The present invention relates to in vitro methods for determining the presence or absence of an anti-drug antibody (ADA) or drug/ADA immunecomplexes in a minipig sample. The invention further relates to antibodies specifically binding to minipig IgG that are applicable in the methods of the invention.
REVERSAL BINDING AGENTS FOR ANTI-FACTOR XI/XIA ANTIBODIES AND USES THEREOF
The present disclosure relates to reversal agents, which specifically bind to anti-Factor XI and/or anti-Factor XIa antibodies (e.g., NOV1401), and reverse one or more anticoagulant effects of the anti-Factor XI and/or anti-Factor XIa antibodies (e.g., NOV1401), as well as to methods of use thereof, such as methods for reversing anticoagulant effects of such anti-Factor XI and/or anti-Factor XIa antibodies (e.g., NOV1401), and to related methods for managing bleeding or bleeding risks.
Antibody capable of neutralizing substance having activity alternative to function of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII)
The present inventors attempted to produce antibodies that neutralize the activity of a substance having an activity of functionally substituting for FVIII to be used for the method of measuring the reactivity of FVIII in the presence of a substance having an activity of functionally substituting for FVIII. As a result, the inventors discovered that by using the produced antibodies, FVIII activity in the plasma of a hemophilia A patient can be evaluated accurately by one-stage clotting assay based on APTT, and also that FVIII inhibitor titer in the plasma of a hemophilia A patient carrying a FVIII inhibitor can be evaluated accurately by Bethesda assay based on APTT.
