ANTIBODIES DIRECTED TO GPNMB AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to antibodies with specificity to GPNMB, and uses of such antibodies. In particular, the present invention provides fully human monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to GPNMB, and uses thereof. Nucleotide sequences encoding, and amino acid sequences comprising, heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules, particularly sequences corresponding to contiguous heavy and light chain sequences spanning the framework regions and/or complementarity determining regions (CDRs) are provided. The present invention also provides biomarkers for evaluating the effects of therapeutic methods and uses of the antibodies with specificity to GPNMB.
