Abstract

A suite of novel human anti-CD33 antibodies is described. The provided antibodies are pan-binders, binding the C2-set Ig-like domain in the presence or absence of the V-set Ig-like domain of CD33 or are V-set binders, binding the V-set Ig-like domain of CD33. The antibodies provide novel therapeutic and diagnostic tools against CD33-related disorders, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
