Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure provides anti-myostatin antibodies and methods of making and using the same. Nucleic acids encoding the anti-myostatin antibodies and host cells comprising the nucleic acids are also provided. The anti-myostatin antibodies have uses that include treating a muscle wasting disease, reducing body fat accumulation, and increasing mass and strength of muscle tissue. The disclosure also provides polypeptides containing a variant Fc region and methods of making and using the same. Nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides and host cells comprising the nucleic acids are also provided. The polypeptides have uses that include suppressing the activation of immune cells; treating an immunological inflammatory disease, autoimmune disease, or viral infection; and increasing muscle mass and strength or reducing body fat accumulation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A polypeptide comprising a variant Fc region, wherein the variant Fc region comprises amino acid alterations in a parent Fc region at positions 234, 238, 264, 311, 330, and 343 according to EU numbering, wherein the parent Fc region comprises the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NO: 195-197, or 198, and wherein the variant Fc region comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 195-197, or 198, respectively. 2. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the parent Fc region comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 195. 3. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide is an antibody or an Fc fusion protein. 4. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the variant Fc region comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:352. 5. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the variant Fc region comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 195-197, or 198.
