USE OF A PERIOSTIN ANTIBODY FOR TREATING INFLAMMATION, FIBROSIS AND LUNG DISEASES
摘要:
The present invention is based on the surprising finding that the MPC5B4 anti-periostin monoclonal antibody can effectively prevent and treat inflammation, fibrosis and worsening of pulmonary inflammation and respiratory diseases in various animal models. The MPC5B4 anti-periostin monoclonal antibody recognizes specifically the peptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, corresponding to the amino acid sequence 136-151 located within the fasciclin (FAS)1-1 domain of the periostin protein (POSTN), inhibiting its binding to the αvβ3 integrin.
