Antibodies that inhibit metalloproteins

摘要

The present application relates to antibodies which recognize [2 (2 -aminoethylcarbomoyl) - ethoxymethyl] -tris- [2-N- (3 - imidazol - 1 -yl -propyl) ) -etho xymethyl] methane, a hapten molecule which closely mimics the local structure and conformation of the reactive zinc site in matrix metalloproteinases. An antibody is disclosed which comprises an antigen recognition region which comprises six CDR amino acid sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs : 4-15. Uses thereof are also disclosed.
