Thrombin/plasmin-regulated antibodies that bind TFPI
This disclosure provides protease-regulated antibodies which specifically bind to tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). The antibodies are useful for treating bleeding disorders such as hemophilia.
1. A protease-regulated antibody which specifically binds to tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), comprising:
(a) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 131 which comprises the variable light domain and constant light domain of the protease-regulated antibody and the protease cleavage site of SEQ ID NO: 137; and
(b) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 133 which comprises the variable heavy domain and constant heavy domain of the protease-regulated antibody and the protease cleavage site of SEQ ID NO: 137,
wherein the protease-regulated antibody binds TFPI and promotes the generation of thrombin or plasmin.
