Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region germline gene VHI-69. The antibody is derived from Mab G6 and recognizes the same epitope. Moreover, the antibody is used in combination with vaccines to augment an immune response to the antigen.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated humanized monoclonal antibody, wherein said antibody has a humanized heavy chain with three CDRs comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5 (GYTFTSYW); SEQ ID NO: 6 (VSPGNSDT); and SEQ ID NO: 7 (TRSRYGNNALDY); and a humanized light chain with three CDRs comprising an amino acid sequence of QGISSNIVW SEQ ID NO: 8 (QGISSNIVW); SEQ ID NO: 9 (HGT); and SEQ ID NO: 10 (VQYSQFPPT), wherein said antibody binds human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region protein encoded by germline gene VH1-69. 2. A composition comprising an isolated humanized monoclonal antibody, wherein said antibody has a humanized heavy chain with three CDRs comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5 (GYTFTSYW); SEQ ID NO: 6 (VSPGNSDT); and SEQ ID NO: 7 (TRSRYGNNALDY); and a humanized light chain with three CDRs comprising an amino acid sequence of QGISSNIVW SEQ ID NO: 8 (QGISSNIVW); SEQ ID NO: 9 (HGT); and SEQ ID NO: 10 (VQYSQFPPT); wherein said antibody binds human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region protein encoded by germline gene VH1-69; the composition further comprising an antigen; and wherein said antigen comprises the stem region of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein of an influenza virus. 3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the antibody is a single chain antibody. 4. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the antigen is covalently linked to said antibody.
