Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An anti-IL-12 antibody that binds to a portion of the IL-12 protein corresponding to at least one amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of residues 15, 17-21, 23, 40-43, 45-47, 54-56 and 58-62 of the amino acid sequence of the p40 subunit of IL-12, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one anti-IL-12 antibody, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof have applications in diagnostic and/or therapeutic compositions, methods and devices.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for reducing symptoms of lupus in an animal, comprising administering a composition comprising an effective amount of an isolated anti-IL-12 antibody, wherein said antibody binds to a conformational epitope of IL-12 protein comprising residues 15, 17-21, 23, 40-43, 45-47, 54-56 and 58-62 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:9, to said animal. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the lupus is systemic lupus erythematosus. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said effective amount is 0.001-50 mg/kilogram of said animal. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said administering is by at least one mode selected from subcutaneous and intravenous. 5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising administering an effective amount of a cytokine antagonist. 6. A method for reducing symptoms of lupus in an animal, comprising administering a composition comprising an effective amount of an isolated anti-IL-12 antibody, wherein said antibody binds to a conformational epitope of IL-12 protein comprising residues 23, 40, 43, 45, 59, and 62 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:9, to said animal. 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the lupus is systemic lupus erythematosus. 8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein said effective amount is 0.001-50 mg/kilogram of said animal. 9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein said administering is by at least one mode selected from subcutaneous and intravenous. 10. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising administering an effective amount of a cytokine antagonist.
