Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention provides fully human monoclonal antibodies that recognize the IL-6/IL-6R complex. The invention further provides methods of using such monoclonal antibodies as a therapeutic, diagnostic, and prophylactic.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of blocking cis or trans IL-6 signaling in a subject, the method comprising administering an antibody that binds to IL-6/IL-6R complex (IL-6Rc), wherein the antibody comprises a V H CDR1 region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 15, a V H CDR2 region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33, a V H CDR3 region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 36, a V L CDR1 region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 24, a V L CDR2 region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 25, and a V L CDR3 region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 26. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said subject is a human. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said antibody also binds the IL-6R. 4. The method of claim 2 , wherein said antibody is an IgG isotype. 5. The method of claim 2 , wherein said antibody is an IgG1 isotype. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said subject has renal cell carcinoma (RCC), plasma cell leukemia, lymphoma, B-lymphoproliferative disorder (BLPD), multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, or Kaposi's sarcoma.
