Abstract

Engineered antibodies to human IL-23p19 are provided, as well as uses thereof, e.g. in treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, and proliferative disorders.

Claims (42)

1. A purified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that binds to human IL-23 (SEQ ID NO: 29), said antibody or antigen binding fragment comprising:

a) a CDR-L1 sequence consisting of residues 43-53 of SEQ ID NO: 2;

b) a CDR-L2 sequence consisting of residues 69-75 of SEQ ID NO: 2;

c) a CDR-L3 sequence consisting of residues 108-116 of SEQ ID NO: 2;

d) a CDR-H1 sequence consisting of residues 45-54 of SEQ ID NO: 1;

e) a CDR-H2 sequence consisting of residues 69-85 of SEQ ID NO: 1; and

f) a CDR-H3 sequence consisting of residues 118-123 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

2. The purified antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 comprising:

a) a light chain variable domain sequence consisting of residues 20-129 of SEQ ID NO: 2; and

b) a heavy chain variable domain sequence consisting of residues 20-134 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

3. The purified antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 2 comprising:

a) a light chain consisting of residues 20-233 of SEQ ID NO: 2; and

b) a heavy chain consisting of residues 20-464 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

4. A purified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that is able to block the binding of the antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 to human IL-23p19 (SEQ ID NO: 29) in a cross-blocking assay.

5. A purified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that is able to block the binding of the antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 2 to human IL-23p19 (SEQ ID NO: 29) in a cross-blocking assay.

6. A monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 4 .

7. A monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 5 .

8. A purified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that is able to block the binding of a second antibody to human IL-23p19 (SEQ ID NO: 29) in a cross-blocking assay, wherein the second antibody comprises:

a) a light chain consisting of residues 20-233 of SEQ ID NO: 2; and

b) a heavy chain consisting of residues 20-464 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

9. A monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 6 .

10. A purified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that binds to human IL-23 (SEQ ID NO: 29), said antibody or antigen binding fragment comprising:

a) a CDR-L1 sequence consisting of residues 43-53 of SEQ ID NO: 4;

b) a CDR-L2 sequence consisting of residues 69-75 of SEQ ID NO: 4;

c) a CDR-L3 sequence consisting of residues 108-116 of SEQ ID NO: 4;

d) a CDR-H1 sequence consisting of residues 45-54 of SEQ ID NO: 3;

e) a CDR-H2 sequence consisting of residues 69-85 of SEQ ID NO: 3; and

f) a CDR-H3 sequence consisting of residues 118-123 of SEQ ID NO: 3.

11. The purified antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 10 comprising:

a) a light chain variable domain sequence consisting of residues 20-129 of SEQ ID NO: 4; and

b) a heavy chain variable domain sequence consisting of residues 20-134 of SEQ ID NO: 3.

12. The purified antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 11 comprising:

a) a light chain consisting of residues 20-233 of SEQ ID NO: 4; and

b) a heavy chain consisting of residues 20-464 of SEQ ID NO: 3.

13. A purified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that is able to block the binding of the antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 10 to human IL-23p19 (SEQ ID NO: 29) in a cross-blocking assay.

14. A purified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that is able to block the binding of the antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 11 to human IL-23p19 (SEQ ID NO: 29) in a cross-blocking assay.

15. A monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 13 .

16. A monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 14 .

17. A purified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that is able to block the binding of a second antibody to human IL-23p19 (SEQ ID NO: 29) in a cross-blocking assay, wherein the second antibody comprises:

a) a light chain consisting of residues 20-233 of SEQ ID NO: 4; and

b) a heavy chain consisting of residues 20-464 of SEQ ID NO: 3.

18. A monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 17 .
