Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to C5a and to use of the antibodies in methods for treating or preventing complement-associated disorders such as, but not limited to, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, age-related macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, severe burn, antiphospho lipid syndrome, asthma, lupus nephritis, Goodpasture's syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nucleic acid encoding complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of a heavy chain variable region of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to human C5a, wherein the heavy chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:45. 2. A nucleic acid encoding complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of a light chain variable region of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to human C5a, wherein the light chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:42. 3. A nucleic acid encoding complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of heavy and light chain variable regions of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to human C5a, wherein the heavy and light chain variable regions comprise the amino acid sequences depicted in SEQ ID NOs:45 and 42, respectively. 4. A nucleic acid encoding a heavy chain variable region of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to human C5a, wherein the heavy chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:45. 5. A nucleic acid encoding a light chain variable region of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to human C5a, wherein the light chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:42. 6. A nucleic acid encoding heavy and light chain variable regions of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to human C5a, wherein the heavy and light chain variable regions comprise the amino acid sequences depicted in SEQ ID NOs:45 and 42, respectively. 7. A nucleic acid encoding a heavy chain of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to C5a, wherein the heavy chain comprises the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO: 49. 8. A nucleic acid encoding a light chain of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to C5a, wherein the light chain comprises the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO: 40. 9. A nucleic acid encoding a heavy chain and a light chain of an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to human C5a, wherein the heavy chain comprises the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO: 49 and the light chain comprises the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO: 40. 10. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 1 . 11. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 10 . 12. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 2 . 13. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 12 . 14. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 3 . 15. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 14 . 16. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 4 . 17. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 16 . 18. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 5 . 19. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 18 . 20. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 6 . 21. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 20 . 22. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 7 . 23. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 22 . 24. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 8 . 25. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 24 . 26. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 9 . 27. A cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 26 .
