Abstract

Provided are various embodiments relating to interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha-1/interleukin 4 receptor subunit alpha (IL13R/IL4R) contiguous polypeptides derived from companion animal species and that bind to IL13 and/or IL4. Such contiguous polypeptides can be used in methods to treat IL13 and/or IL4-induced conditions in companion animals, such as canines, felines, and equines.

Claims (34)

1. A polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence at least 95% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO 18, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 28, SEQ ID NO: 29, SEQ ID NO: 30, and SEQ ID NO: 31.

2. The polypeptide of claim 1 , comprising a post-expression modification.

3. The polypeptide of claim 2 , wherein the modification comprises glycosylation, sialyation, acetylation, and/or phosphorylation.

4. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 16, and SEQ ID NO: 17.

5. The polypeptide of claim 4 , wherein the polypeptide binds to IL13 of a companion animal species with a dissociation constant (Kd) of less than 5×10 −6 M, as measured by biolayer interferometry.

6. The polypeptide of claim 4 , wherein the polypeptide binds to IL4 of a companion animal species with a dissociation constant (Kd) of less than 5×10 −6 M, as measured by biolayer interferometry.

7. The polypeptide of claim 4 , comprising a post-expression modification.

8. The polypeptide of claim 7 , wherein the modification comprises glycosylation, sialyation, acetylation, and/or phosphorylation.

9. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises SEQ ID NO: 15.

10. The polypeptide of claim 9 , wherein the polypeptide binds to IL13 of a companion animal species with a dissociation constant (Kd) of less than 5×10 −6 M, as measured by biolayer interferometry.

11. The polypeptide of claim 9 , wherein the polypeptide binds to IL4 of a companion animal species with a dissociation constant (Kd) of less than 5×10 −6 M, as measured by biolayer interferometry.

12. The polypeptide of claim 9 , comprising a post-expression modification.

13. The polypeptide of claim 12 , wherein the modification comprises glycosylation, sialyation, acetylation, and/or phosphorylation.

14. The polypeptide of claim 1 , comprising an amino acid sequence at least 98% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO 18, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 28, SEQ ID NO: 29, SEQ ID NO: 30, and SEQ ID NO: 31.

15. The polypeptide of claim 1 comprising an amino acid sequence at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO: 13.

16. The polypeptide of claim 1 comprising an amino acid sequence at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO: 14.
