Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to ST2L antagonists, polynucleotides encoding the antagonists or fragments thereof, and methods of making and using the foregoing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of inhibiting IL-33-induced GM-CSF release from primary human lung mast cells in a patient, comprising administrating a therapeutically effective amount of an isolated antibody antagonist or fragment thereof that specifically binds Domain I (SEQ ID NO: 9) of human ST2L to a patient in need thereof for a time sufficient to inhibit the IL-33-induced GM-CSF release from primary human lung mast cells, wherein the antibody comprises the heavy chain complementarity determining regions (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3) and the light chain complementarity determining regions (LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3) of SEQ ID NOs: 97, 114, 84, 130, 90, and 134, respectively. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody antagonist blocks IL-33/ST2L interaction. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the antibody antagonist comprises a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL), wherein: (a) the VH is derived from human IGHV3-23 framework sequence (SEQ ID NO: 158); and (b) the VL is derived from human IGKV3-11 (L6) framework sequence (SEQ ID NO: 159). 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the antibody antagonist is of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 isotype. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the antibody antagonist comprises the VH of SEQ ID NO: 191 and the VL of SEQ ID NO: 209. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody antagonist is a human or humanized antibody.
