Abstract

Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) antibody antagonists, polynucleotides encoding IL-17A antibody antagonists or fragments thereof, and methods of making and using the foregoing are disclosed.

Claims (52)

1. An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that binds specifically to human IL-17A, comprising a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL), wherein the VH region comprises the HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 having the amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NOs:25, 46 and 61, respectively; and the VL region comprises the LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3 having the amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NOs:3, 6 and 22, respectively; and wherein

in SEQ ID NO:46,

Xaa1 may be Ala, Gly, Thr or Val;

Xaa3 may be Asn or Ser;

Xaa4 may be Gly, Met, Lys, Ile, Leu or His;

Xaa5 may be Leu, Asp, Ala, His, Thr, Gly or Ser;

Xaa6 may be Gly or Ser;

Xaa7 may be Thr, Gly, Tyr or Asp;

Xaa8 may be His, Trp, Tyr or Phe;

Xaa9 may be Lys, Thr or Ile; and

Xaa10 may be Tyr, Phe or Asn;

in SEQ ID NO:61,

Xaa may be Met, Leu or Thr; and

in SEQ ID NO:22,

Xaa is Met, Leu, Thr or Tyr.

2. The isolated antibody or fragment of claim 1 , wherein the antibody comprises the HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 amino acid sequences as shown in:

a. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 37 and 58, respectively;

b. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 38 and 58, respectively;

c. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 39 and 58, respectively;

d. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 40 and 58, respectively;

e. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 41 and 58, respectively;

f. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 42 and 58, respectively;

g. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 43 and 58, respectively;

h. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 41 and 59, respectively;

i. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 41 and 60, respectively;

j. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 43 and 60, respectively;

k. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 44 and 58, respectively; or

l. SEQ ID NOs: 25, 45 and 58, respectively; and

the LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3 amino acid sequences as shown in:

m. SEQ ID NOs: 3, 6 and 18, respectively;

n. SEQ ID NOs: 3, 6 and 19, respectively;

o. SEQ ID NOs: 3, 6 and 20, respectively; or

p. SEQ ID NOs: 3, 6 and 21, respectively.

3. An isolated monoclonal antibody or fragment thereof that binds specifically to human IL-17A that competes for human IL-17A binding with a monoclonal antibody comprising the heavy chain CDR 1, 2 and 3 (HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3) amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NOs: 25, 43 and 60, respectively, and the light chain CDR 1, 2 and 3 (LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3) amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NOs: 3, 6 and 18, respectively.

4. The isolated antibody or fragment of claim 3 or 1 , wherein the antibody is fully human.

5. The isolated antibody or fragment of claim 3 or 1 , wherein the antibody is conjugated to polyethylene glycol.

6. The isolated antibody or fragment of claim 3 or 1 , having an IgG1 or IgG4 isotype.

7. The isolated antibody or fragment of claim 3 or 1 , wherein the Fc domain comprises S229P, P235A or L236A mutations in the Fc domain.

8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the isolated antibody or fragment of claim 3 or 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

9. An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that binds specifically to human IL-17A comprising a VH and a VL, wherein the antibody comprises:

a. the HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NOs: 25, 43 and 60, respectively and

the LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3 amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NOs: 3, 6 and 18, respectively; or

b. the VH of SEQ ID NO: 86; or

c. the VL of SEQ ID NO: 79; or

10. An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that binds specifically to human IL-17A, comprising a VH and a VL, wherein the antibody comprises the VH having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 86.

11. The isolated antibody or fragment of claim 10 , wherein the antibody comprises the VL having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 79.

12. An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that binds specifically to human IL-17A, comprising a VH and a VL, wherein the antibody comprises the VL having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 79.

13. An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that binds specifically to human IL-17A, comprising a VH and a VL, wherein the antibody comprises the VH which is at least 95% identical to the VH having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 86.

14. An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that binds specifically to human IL-17A, comprising a VH and a VL, wherein the antibody comprises the VL which is at least 95% identical to the variable region having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 79.
