Human tissue factor antibody and uses thereof
The invention relates to a humanized form of an antibody capable of preventing tissue factor (coagulation factor F3) signaling but which does not interfere with Factor VII binding or FX binding to tissue factor and does not prolong coagulation time. The antibody of the invention is useful in treating conditions, such as tumor progression, in which the associated cells express tissue factor and tissue factor signaling occurs.
1. An isolated anti-tissue factor antibody comprising three heavy chain CDR sequences, H-CDR1, H-CDR2, and H-CDR3, represented by SEQ ID NOs: 76, 98, and 8, respectively, and three light chain CDR sequences L-CDR1, L-CDR2, and L-CDR3, represented by SEQ ID NOs: 9, 10, and 11, respectively.
2. An isolated anti-tissue factor antibody comprising an antibody light chain variable domain of SEQ ID NO: 23 or an antibody heavy chain variable domain of SEQ ID NO: 139.
3. The antibody of claim 2 , comprising both the antibody light chain variable domain of SEQ ID NO: 23 and the antibody heavy chain variable domain of SEQ ID NO: 139.
4. The antibody of claim 2 , comprising an antibody light chain of SEQ ID NO: 165.
5. The antibody of claim 2 , comprising an antibody heavy chain selected from SEQ ID NO: 166 and SEQ ID NO: 167.
6. The antibody of claim 5 , comprising an antibody heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 166.
7. The antibody of claim 5 , comprising an antibody heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 167.
8. The antibody of claim 2 , comprising an antibody light chain of SEQ ID NO: 165 and an antibody heavy chain selected from SEQ ID NO: 166 and SEQ ID NO: 167.
9. The antibody of claim 2 , wherein the antibody is an anti-tissue factor antibody that does not compete with FVIIa for tissue factor binding and does not substantially block the procoagulant, amidolytic activity of the TF-VIIa complex but which does block TF-VIIa mediated signaling as measured by cytokine IL-8 release from MDA-MB-231 cells.
10. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an antibody of claim 1 .
11. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an antibody of claim 2 .
12. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 , wherein the antibody is an antibody of claim 4 .
13. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 , wherein the antibody is an antibody of claim 5 .
14. A nucleic acid encoding an antibody comprising the heavy chain CDR sequences and light chain CDR sequences as claimed in claim 1 .
15. A nucleic acid encoding an antibody light chain variable domain or an antibody heavy chain variable domain as claimed in claim 2 .
16. A nucleic acid encoding an antibody light chain as claimed in claim 4 .
17. A nucleic acid encoding an antibody heavy chain as claimed in claim 5 .
18. A vector comprising at least one polynucleotide of claim 14 .
19. A host cell comprising the vector of claim 18 .
