CDRL1 comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 36;
CDRL2 comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 41; and
CDRL3 comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 46; and
b) a heavy chain variable domain, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising CDRH1, CDRH2 and CDRH3, wherein:
CDRH1 comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19;
CDRH2 comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 24-26; and
CDRH3 comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 31.
2. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid of claim 1 operably linked to control sequences that are recognized by a host cell when the host cell is transfected with the vector.
3. A host cell comprising the expression vector of claim 2 .
4. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising the light chain variable domain or the heavy chain variable domain of a binding compound that binds to human IL-23, said method comprising:
culturing the host cell of claim 3 in culture medium under conditions wherein the nucleic acid sequence is expressed, thereby producing the polypeptide; and
recovering the polypeptide from the host cell or culture medium.
5. A method of producing a first polypeptide comprising the light chain variable domain of a binding compound that binds to human IL-23 and a second polypeptide comprising the heavy chain variable domain of the binding compound that binds to human IL-23, said method comprising:
culturing the host cell of claim 3 in culture medium under conditions wherein the nucleic acid sequence is expressed, thereby producing the polypeptides; and
recovering the polypeptides from the host cell or culture medium.
6. An isolated nucleic acid encoding at least one of the light chain variable domain and the heavy chain variable domain of a binding compound that binds to human IL-23, said binding compound comprising:
a) a light chain variable domain, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising residues 1-108 of SEQ ID NO: 14; and
b) a heavy chain variable domain, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising residues 1-116 of a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 6-8.
7. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid of claim 6 operably linked to control sequences that are recognized by a host cell when the host cell is transfected with the vector.
8. A host cell comprising the expression vector of claim 7 .
9. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising the light chain variable domain or the heavy chain variable domain of a binding compound that binds to human IL-23, said method comprising:
culturing the host cell of claim 8 in culture medium under conditions wherein the nucleic acid sequence is expressed, thereby producing the polypeptide; and
recovering the polypeptide from the host cell or culture medium.
10. A method of producing a first polypeptide comprising the light chain variable domain of a binding compound that binds to human IL-23 and a second polypeptide comprising the heavy chain variable domain of the binding compound that binds to human IL-23, said method comprising:
culturing the host cell of claim 8 in culture medium under conditions wherein the nucleic acid sequence is expressed, thereby producing the polypeptides; and
recovering the polypeptides from the host cell or culture medium.
11. An isolated nucleic acid encoding at least one of the light chain variable domain and the heavy chain variable domain of a binding compound that binds to human IL-23, said binding compound comprising:
a) a light chain comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14; and
b) a heavy chain comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 6-8.
12. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid of claim 11 operably linked to control sequences that are recognized by a host cell when the host cell is transfected with the vector.
13. A host cell comprising the expression vector of claim 12 .
14. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising the light chain variable domain or the heavy chain variable domain of a binding compound that binds to human IL-23, said method comprising:
culturing the host cell of claim 13 in culture medium under conditions wherein the nucleic acid sequence is expressed, thereby producing the polypeptide; and
recovering the polypeptide from the host cell or culture medium.
15. A method of producing a first polypeptide comprising the light chain variable domain of a binding compound that binds to human IL-23 and a second polypeptide comprising the heavy chain variable domain of the binding compound that binds to human IL-23, said method comprising:
culturing the host cell of claim 13 in culture medium under conditions wherein the nucleic acid sequence is expressed, thereby producing the polypeptides; and
recovering the polypeptides from the host cell or culture medium.
