First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method of inhibiting IL-8, which comprises administering an anti-IL-8 antibody that binds to human IL-8 to a subject in need thereof, wherein the subject suffers from an IL-8-related disease selected from the group consisting of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, psoriasis, hepatic fibrosis, renal fibrosis, and pulmonary fibrosis, and wherein the anti-IL-8 antibody comprises: (a) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 23 as HVR-H1, (b) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 29 as HVR-H2, (c) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 30 as HVR-H3, (d) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 26 as HVR-L1, (e) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 31 as HVR-L2, and (f) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 32 as HVR-L3. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-IL-8 antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 34 and a light chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 35. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the anti-IL-8 antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 36 and a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 38. 4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the anti-IL-8 antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 37 and a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 38. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease is COPD. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease is cystic fibrosis. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease is psoriasis. 8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease is hepatic fibrosis. 9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease is renal fibrosis. 10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease is pulmonary fibrosis. 11 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the disease is COPD. 12 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the disease is cystic fibrosis. 13 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the disease is psoriasis. 14 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the disease is hepatic fibrosis. 15 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the disease is renal fibrosis. 16 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the disease is pulmonary fibrosis.
