Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the generation of immunoglobulin molecules of predetermined specificity. In particular, the invention relates to a method for the retargeting of the epitope binding specificity of one or more antibodies using single variable domains which exhibit a dominant epitope binding specificity.
Abstract:
The invention provides a dual-specific ligand comprising a first immunoglobulin variable domain having a first binding specificity and a complementary or non-complementary immunoglobulin variable domain having a second binding specificity.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for treating inflammatory diseases (e.g., chronic inflammatory diseases) comprising administering an antagonist of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1. The invention also provides antagonists of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1, such as ligands that contain an immunoglobulin single variable domain or domain antibody (dAb) monomer that binds Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1, and methods of using the ligands. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding the ligands, recombinant host cells and methods for preparing the ligands.
Abstract:
Abstract of the Disclosure The present invention relates to methods for selecting repertoires of polypeptides using generic and target ligands. In particular, the invention relates to a library comprising a repertoire of polypeptides of the immunoglobulin superfamily, wherein the members of the repertoire have a known main chain conformation.
Abstract:
Antibody polypeptides that specifically bind human CD40L are provided. The antibody polypeptides do not activate platelets. The antibody polypeptides are useful in the treatment of diseases involving CD40L activation, such as graft-related diseases and autoimmune diseases. The antibody polypeptides may be domain antibodies (dAbs) comprising a single VH or VK domain. The half-life of the antibody polypeptides may be increased by modifying the antibody polypeptides to be dual specific reagents that can also bind human serum albumin (HSA) or another antigen.
