Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided herein are humanized anti-factor Bb antibodies, methods of producing the antibodies and methods of using the antibodies.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nucleic acid or nucleic acid set encoding a humanized antibody that binds specifically to human complement factor Bb protein, wherein the humanized antibody comprises: a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19 and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 27. 2. A vector or vector set comprising the nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 1 . 3. An isolated cell comprising the nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 1 . 4. The isolated cell of claim 3 , wherein the cell is a mammalian cell. 5. The isolated cell of claim 4 , wherein the mammalian cell is selected from human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, NS0 myeloma cells, SP2 cells, COS cells, and mammary epithelial cells. 6. The nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 1 , wherein the humanized antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region comprising the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOsi[H] 28-30. 7. The nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 1 , wherein the humanized antibody comprises a light chain constant region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 31. 8. The nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 6 , wherein the humanized antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 32 and a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 35. 9. The nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 6 , wherein the humanized antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33 and a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 35. 10. The nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 6 , wherein the humanized antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 34 and a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 35. 11. The nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 1 , wherein the humanized antibody is selected from the group consisting of an Ig monomer, a Fab fragment, a F(ab′)2 fragment, a scFv, a scAb, and a Fv. 12. The nucleic acid or nucleic acid set of claim 1 , wherein the humanized antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region of the isotype IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4. 13. A method of producing a humanized antibody that binds specifically to human complement factor Bb protein, the method comprising culturing the isolated cell of claim 3 to produce the humanized antibody. 14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising isolating the humanized antibody. 15. A composition comprising: a nucleic acid or nucleic acid set encoding a humanized antibody that binds specifically to human complement factor Bb protein, wherein the humanized antibody comprises: a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19 and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 27, and a buffer. 16. A composition comprising: a vector or vector set comprising a nucleic acid or nucleic acid set encoding a humanized antibody that binds specifically to human complement factor Bb protein, wherein the humanized antibody comprises: a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19 and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 27, and a buffer. 17. A composition comprising: an isolated cell comprising a nucleic acid or nucleic acid set encoding a humanized antibody that binds specifically to human complement factor Bb protein, wherein the humanized antibody comprises: a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19 and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 27, and a buffer.
