Abstract:
Disclosed are novel polyclonal antibodies, which target respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), as well as novel high affinity antibody molecules reactive with RSV. The polyclonal antibodies may comprise antibody molecules which are reactive with both RSV protein F and RSV protein G, and preferably the polyclonal antibodies target a variety of epitopes on these proteins. The antibody molecules of the invention have shown superior efficacy in vitro and/or in vivo. Also disclosed are methods of producing the antibodies of the invention as well as methods of their use in treatment or prevention of RSV infection.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an anti-orthopoxvirus recombinant polyclonal antibody comprising distinct members which in union are capable of binding at least three orthopoxvirus related antigens, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody, and a method for its production. Also disclosed is a polyclonal cell line capable of producing the recombinant polyclonal antibody as therapeutic methods utilizing the polyclonal antibody. Finally, the invention also pertains to a method for screening for useful VH and VL pairs useful when preparing the polyclonal antibody.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing recombinant anti-RSV antibodies and antibody compositions. The method comprises obtaining a collection of cells transfected with a collection of variant nucleic acid sequences, wherein each cell in the collection is transfected with and capable of expressing one distinct anti-RSV antibody. The cells are cultured under suitable conditions for expression of the anti-RSV antibody/antibodies. The nucleic acid sequence is introduced into the cells by transfection with expression vectors, which avoid site-specific integration. The present method is suitable for manufacturing recombinant mono- and polyclonal anti-RSV antibodies for therapeutic uses.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to improved therapeutics against receptors within the EGFR/ErbB/HER family that more broadly interfere with multiple members of the HER family (pan-HER inhibition). More particularly, the invention is directed to the use of antibody compositions for human cancer therapy. In vitro studies have shown that the antibody compositions of the invention targeting multiple HER family receptors are superior to antibody compositions targeting only one HER family receptor.

Abstract:
Disclosed are novel polyclonal antibodies, which target respiratory syncyticilal virus (RSV), and novel high affinity antibody molecules reactive with RSV. The polyclonal antibodies may comprise antibody molecules which are reactive with both RSV protein F and RSV protein G, and preferably the polyclonal antibodies target a variety of epitopes on these proteins. The single antibody molecules of the invention are shown to exhibit affinities which provide for dissociation constants as low as in the picomolar range. Also disclosed are methods of producing the antibodies of the invention as well as methods of their use in treatment for RSV infection.
