Abstract

An isolated antibody, comprising: a heavy chain variable domain (V H ) that is at least 75% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; and a light chain variable domain (V L ) that is at least 75% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; wherein the antibody binds specifically to human neurotensin receptor 1 (hNTSR1).

(c) a heavy chain CDR1 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, a heavy chain CDR2 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, a heavy chain CDR3 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, a light chain CDR1 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9, a light chain CDR2 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10, and a light chain CDR3 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12;

(d) a V H sequence comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13 and a V L sequence comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14; or

(e) a V H sequence comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 15 and a V L sequence comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 16;

wherein the antibody binds specifically to human neurotensin receptor 1 (hNTSR1).

2 . The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody includes:

a heavy chain CDR1 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4, a heavy chain CDR2 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, a heavy chain CDR3 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, a light chain CDR1 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9, a light chain CDR2 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10, and a light chain CDR3 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12.

3 . The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody includes:

a heavy chain CDR1 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4, a heavy chain CDR2 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, a heavy chain CDR3 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, a light chain CDR1 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9, a light chain CDR2 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10, and a light chain CDR3 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12.

4 . The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody includes:

a heavy chain CDR1 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, a heavy chain CDR2 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, a heavy chain CDR3 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7 or SEQ ID NO: 8, a light chain CDR1 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9, a light chain CDR2 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10, and a light chain CDR3 comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11.
