Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to humanized antibodies which bind the pertussis toxin protein and their use as therapeutic agents. In particular, the present invention is directed to improved humanized 1B7 and 11E6 antibodies which bind the pertussis toxin protein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A humanized 1B7 antibody that binds a pertussis toxin protein, comprising an immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region and an immunoglobulin light chain variable region, wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO1, SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:5, or SEQ ID NO:6; and the immunoglobulin light chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:9, SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:11, or SEQ ID NO:12. 2. The humanized 1B7 antibody of claim 1 , wherein the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 and the immunoglobulin light chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:11. 3. The humanized 1B7 antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody binds the pertussis toxin protein with a K D of 3 nM or lower. 4. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the humanized 1B7 antibody of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 5. A method of treating a patient infected with Bordetella pertussis comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of the humanized 1 B7 antibody of claim 1 .
