Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The antibodies, immunoglobulin constructs, or immunoglobulin fusion proteins whose in vivo half-life is increased in ferrets by a modified ferret IgG Fc region can be useful to test therapeutics in ferrets and ferret models.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An isolated antibody, comprising a ferret IgG Fc region modified relative to a corresponding unmodified ferret IgG Fc region wherein the ferret IgG Fc region comprises a substitution at amino acid residue 252 selected from S252Y or S252M and substitutions S254T and T256E numbered according to the EU index as in Kabat, wherein the in vivo half-life of the modified antibody, is increased by about 2 fold to about 3.5 fold in a ferret compared with the corresponding unmodified antibody. 2. The antibody according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a chimeric, ferret, ferretized, or a ferret veneered antibody. 3. The antibody according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody specifically binds to Respiratory Syncytial Virus F glycoprotein. 4. The antibody according to claim 3 , comprising a heavy chain constant region sequence set forth in one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-4. 5. The antibody according to claim 3 , further comprising a light chain constant region sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 5. 6. An isolated antibody comprising: a. a human or humanized Fab, and b. a ferret IgG Fc region modified relative to a corresponding unmodified ferret IgG Fc region wherein the ferret IgG Fc region comprises a substitution at amino acid residue 252 selected from S252Y or S252M and substitutions S254T and T256E numbered according to the EU index as in Kabat, wherein the in vivo half-life of the modified antibody is increased by about 2 fold to about 3.5 fold in a ferret compared with the corresponding unmodified antibody.
