Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention addresses a need for improved treatments for Filovirus infections.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. An isolated humanized anti-Filovirus glycoprotein pre-fusion core antibody comprising a framework region having a sequence of 95% or greater identity to a human antibody framework region, and comprising (a) a heavy chain CDR1 comprising GFAFNYYDMH (SEQ ID NO:1); a heavy chain CDR2 comprising YINPGGGNTYYADSV (SEQ ID NO:2); and a heavy chain CDR3 comprising QLYGNSFMDY (SEQ ID NO:3), and (b) a light chain sequence DIQMTQSPSSLSASVGDRVTITCQASQDVTTAVAWYQQKPGKAPKL (SEQ ID NO:12) comprising a light chain CDR1, a light chain sequence LIYAASGRHKGVPSRFSGSGSGTDFTLTISSLQPEDFATYYCQQ (SEQ ID NO:13) comprising a light chain CDR2, and a light chain CDR3 comprising HYSTPLT (SEQ ID NO:5). 2. The humanized antibody of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain comprises the sequence EVQLVESGGGLVQPGGSLRLSCAASGFAFNYYDMHWVRQAPGKGLE (SEQ ID NO:8). 3. The humanized antibody of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain comprises the sequence WVAYINPGGGNTYYADSVKGRFTISADTSKNTAYLQMNSLRAEDTA (SEQ ID NO:9). 4. The humanized antibody of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain comprises the sequence VYYCARQLYGNSFMDYWGQGTLVTV (SEQ ID NO:10). 5. The humanized antibody of claim 1 , wherein the light chain comprises the sequence HYSTPLTFGQGTKVFI (SEQ ID NO:16). 6. An antigen-binding fragment of the antibody of claim 1 . 7. A composition comprising the antibody of claim 1 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. 8. The composition of claim 7 , comprising a pharmaceutically acceptably carrier. 9. A method of inhibiting an Ebola virus infection of a subject comprising administering to the subject an amount of the antibody of claim 1 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof effective to inhibit an Ebola virus infection in a subject, wherein administration is prior to the subject being exposed to the Ebola virus, further wherein the Ebola virus is the Sudan strain.
