摘要

The present invention is related to antibodies directed to various drugs of abuse and uses of such antibodies. In preferred embodiments, the drugs of abuse are amphetamine, methamphetamine, or phencyclidine (PCP). In particular, in accordance with the present invention, there are provided fully man monoclonal antibodies directed to drugs of abuse. Nucelotide 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 (CDR's), specifically from FRI through FR3 or CDRl through CDR3, are provided. Hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such immunoglobulin molecules and monoclonal antibodies are also provided.
