Monoclonal antibodies to fibrin

摘要

The present invention provides an isolated antibody that binds a fibrin or fibrinogen γC domain. In various aspects, the antibody inhibits microglial adhesion to the fibrin or fibrinogen γC domain, inhibits Mac-1 binding to the fibrin or fibrinogen γC domain, and/or suppresses clinical symptoms of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). Various methods of using the antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions, kits, vectors, cells comprising the vectors, and antibody generating methods are provided.

主权项

1. An isolated antibody that binds human fibrin or fibrinogen γC domain, and inhibits Mac-1 binding to fibrin or fibrinogen γC domain, wherein the antibody light chain comprises three complementarity determining regions comprising the amino acid sequences of RSSKSLLHSSGITYLS (SEQ ID NO:2), QMSNLAS (SEQ ID NO:3), and AQNLELPLT (SEQ ID NO:4), respectively, and the antibody heavy chain comprises three complementarity determining regions comprising the amino acid sequences of GYTFTSYWIH (SEQ ID NO:6), LIDPSDSYTNYNQKFRG (SEQ ID NO:7), and SDPTGC (SEQ ID NO:8), respectively.
