Sulfonated sclerostin, antibodies, epitopes and methods for identification and use therefor |
摘要 |
Provided are antibodies that bind to: a sulfonated epitope of the protein Sclerostin, to Sclerostin portions comprising a sulfonated amino acid and to dimerized forms of Sclerostin. Further provided are compositions and peptides comprising a sulfonated epitope of sclerostin. Also provided by this invention are methods for production of such antibodies, both active and passive, and methods for identifying antibodies specific for sulfonation sites in Sclerostin and other antibodies which discriminate between sulfonated and unsulfonated forms of sclerostin. Physical and virtual screening processes are provided in this invention for identifying compounds which disrupt or inhibit sulfonation and the interaction between Sclerostin and binding partners. The antibodies and compositions of the present invention are useful in diagnostic and therapeutic applications directed to Sclerostin-related disorders. |

1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an isolated monoclonal antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds to an epitope of a peptide, wherein the epitope comprises an amino acid sequence of the peptide and the peptide is selected from the group consisting of:
(a) ELGEYPEPPPELE (SEP ID NO:8), wherein tyrosine is sulfated; (b) ELGEYPEPPPELE (SEP ID NO:8), wherein tyrosine is not sulfated; (c) KANQAELENAY (SEP ID NO:7), wherein tyrosine is sulfated; and (d) KANQAELENAY (SEP ID NO:7), wherein tyrosine is not sulfated. |
