Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates, in part, to bispecific antibodies that bind the pertussis toxin protein. The present invention further relates to the use of the bispecific antibodies for the prevention and treatment of Bordetella pertussis infections.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A bispecific antibody that binds a pertussis toxin protein, comprising an immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain of a humanized 1B7 antibody, wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain derived from the humanized 1B7 antibody comprises a CDR H1 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, a CDR H2 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, and a CDR H3 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; and the immunoglobulin light chain derived from the humanized 1B7 antibody comprises a CDR L1 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, a CDR L2 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, and a CDR L3 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8; and an immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain of a humanized 11E6 antibody, wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain derived from the humanized 11E6 antibody comprises a CDR H1 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11, a CDR H2 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12, and a CDR H3 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13; and the immunoglobulin light chain derived from the humanized 11E6 antibody comprises a CDR L1 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 16, a CDR L 2 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17, and a CDR L 3 comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 18, wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain derived from the humanized 1B7 antibody comprises a mutation at T366, numbered according to the EU index as in Kabat and wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain derived from the humanized 11E6 antibody comprises a mutation at Y407, numbered according to the EU index as in Kabat. 2. The bispecific antibody of claim 1 , wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain derived from the humanized 1B7 antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 4; and the immunoglobulin light chain derived from the humanized 1B7 antibody comprises a light chain variable region comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 9. 3. The bispecific antibody of claim 1 , wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain derived from the humanized 1B7 antibody comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:5, and the immunoglobulin light chain derived from the humanized 1B7 antibody comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 10. 4. The bispecific antibody of claim 1 , where the mutation at T366 is T366Y. 5. The bispecific antibody of claim 1 , wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain derived from the humanized 11E6 antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 14; and the immunoglobulin light chain derived from the humanized 11E6 antibody comprises a light chain variable region comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 19. 6. The bispecific antibody of claim 1 , wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain derived from the humanized 11E6 antibody comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 15, and the immunoglobulin light chain derived from the humanized 11E6 antibody comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 20. 7. The bispecific antibody of claim 1 , where the mutation at Y407 is Y407T. 8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the bispecific antibody of claim 1 , and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 9. A method of treating a patient infected with Bordetella pertussis , comprising administering to the patient the bispecific antibody of claim 1 . 10. A method of preventing pertussis in a subject previously exposed to Bordetella pertussis , comprising administering to the subject the bispecific antibody of claim 1 .
