Anti-CD80 antibodies
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to the identification of macaque antibodies to human B7.1 and B7.2 by screening of phage display libraries or monkey heterohybridomas obtained using B lymphocytes from B7.1 and/or B7.2 immunized monkeys. More specifically, the invention provides four monkey monoclonal antibodies 7B6, 16C10, 7C10 and 20C9 which inhibit the B7:CD28 pathway and thereby function as effective immunosuppressants. The invention further provides the complete DNA and amino acid sequences of the light and heavy chain of three PRIMATIZED® antibodies derived from those monkey monoclonal antibodies which bind B7.1 and possibly B7.2, PRIMATIZED® 7C10, PRIMATIZED® 7B6 and PRIMATIZED® 16C10. These PRIMATIZED® and monkey antibodies may be used as specific immunosuppressants, e.g., for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent organ transplant rejection.

11. An antibody which specifically binds to human CD80 antigen comprising a light and heavy chain variable domain derived from the light and heavy chain variable domain of an antibody produced by a hybridoma assigned ATCC Accession No. HB-12119 and wherein the antibody contains constant regions derived from human constant regions.
12. The antibody of claim 11 , wherein the constant regions are a human heavy chain constant region and a human light chain constant region.
13. The antibody of claim 12 , wherein the human heavy chain constant region is a human gamma 1 or gamma 4 constant region.
14. The antibody of claim 11 , wherein said antibody comprises variable regions of an antibody produced by the hybridoma assigned ATCC Accession No. HB-12119.
15. The antibody of claim 14 , wherein said antibody comprises light chain and heavy chain polypeptide sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NOS: 10 and 12, respectively.
