Methods of inhibiting plasma kallikrein in edema patient
View Patent ↗Plasma kallikrein binding proteins and methods of using such proteins are described.
1. A method of inhibiting plasma kallikrein in a subject, the method comprising:
administering to a subject in need thereof an antibody that binds to the active form of human plasma kallikrein and does not bind human prekallikrein;
wherein the subject has edema; and wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain immunoglobulin variable domain sequence comprising three complementarity determining regions (CDRs) from the heavy chain variable domain of an antibody selected from the group consisting of: M162-A04, M160-G12, M142-H08, X63-G06, X101-A01, X81-B01, X67-D03, X67-G04, X115-B07, X115-D05, X115-E09, X115-H06, X115-A03, X115-D01, X115-G04, M29-D09, M145-D11, M06-D09, M76-D01, and M35-G04, and a light chain immunoglobulin variable domain sequence comprising three CDRs from the light chain variable domain of the selected antibody.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the edema is hereditary angioedema.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the isolated antibody is a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the antibody is an IgG or a soluble Fab (sFab).
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable domain sequence comprises a heavy chain variable domain sequence of an antibody selected from the group consisting of X81-B01, X63-G06, X101-A01, M162-A04, M160-G12, M142-H08, X67-D03, X67-G04, X115-B07, X115-D05, X115-E09, X115-H06, X115-A03, X115-D01, X115-G04, M29-D09, M145-D11, M06-D09, M202-H03, M76-D01, and M35-G04, and the light chain variable domain sequence comprises a light chain variable domain of the selected antibody.
6. A method of treating edema in a subject, the method comprising:
administering to a subject in need thereof an antibody that binds to the active form of human plasma kallikrein and does not bind human prekallikrein;
wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain immunoglobulin variable domain sequence comprising three CDRs from the heavy chain variable domain of an antibody selected from the group consisting of: M162-A04, M160-G12, M142-H08, X63-G06, X101-A01, X81-B01, X67-D03, X67-G04, X115-B07, X115-D05, X115-E09, X115-H06, X115-A03, X115-D01, X115-G04, M29-D09, M145-D11, M06-D09, M76-D01, and M35-G04, and a light chain immunoglobulin variable domain sequence comprising three CDRs from the light chain variable domain of the selected antibody.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the edema is hereditary angioedema.
