Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an antibody that confers protection against influenza virus infection. More specifically, it relates to an anti-neuraminidase antibody, protecting against highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza strains. The invention relates further to the use of the antibody for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of influenzavirusinfections, and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A VHH specifically binding influenza neuraminidase. 2 . The VHH according to claim 1 , comprising a CDR1 loop sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID N° 1 and SEQ ID N° 2, a CDR2 loop sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID N° 3 and SEQ ID N° 4 and a CDR3 loop sequence consisting of SEQ ID N° 5 and SEQ ID N° 6. 3 . An influenza neuraminidase binding construct comprising a VHH according to claim 1 . 4 . The neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 3 , wherein said construct is bivalent. 5 . The neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 4 , wherein said VHH is fused to an Fc tail. 6 . The neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 4 , wherein said VHHs are linked by an IgG2c hinge. 7 . The neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 5 , wherein said construct comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID N° 7, SEQ ID N° 8, SEQ ID N° 9 and SEQ ID N° 10. 8 . A method of treatment of an influenza infection, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an influenza neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 3 . 9 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising an influenza binding construct according to claim 3 . 10 . An influenza neuraminidase binding construct comprising a VHH according to claim 2 . 11 . The neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 10 , wherein said construct is bivalent. 12 . The neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 11 , wherein said VHH is fused to an Fc tail. 13 . The neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 11 , wherein said VHHs are linked by an IgG2c hinge. 14 . The neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 6 , wherein said construct comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID N° 7, SEQ ID N° 8, SEQ ID N° 9 and SEQ ID N° 10. 15 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising an influenza binding construct according to claim 4 . 16 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising an influenza binding construct according to claim 5 . 17 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising an influenza binding construct according to claim 6 . 18 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising an influenza binding construct according to claim 7 . 19 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising an influenza binding construct according to claim 10 . 20 . A method of treatment of an influenza infection, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an influenza neuraminidase binding construct according to claim 7 .
