Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are inhibitors, such as antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, that selectively bind complexes of LTBP1-TGFβ and/or LTBP3-TGFβ. The application also provides methods of use of these inhibitors for, for example, inhibiting TGFβ activation, and treating subjects suffering from TGFβ-related disorders, such as fibrotic conditions. Methods of selecting a context-dependent or context-independent isoform-specific TGFβ inhibitor for a subject in need thereof are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds a human LTBP1-proTGFβ complex and a human LTBP3-proTGFβ complex, comprising a heavy chain variable domain and a light chain variable domain, wherein the heavy chain variable domain comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 318 and the light chain variable domain comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 319. 2. The antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable domain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 318 and the light chain variable domain consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 319. 3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody, or the antigen-binding fragment thereof, of claim 1 or claim 2 .
