Methods of treatment using human anti-IL-23 antibodies
A human anti-IL-23p19 antibody, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one anti-IL-23p19 antibody, vectors, host cells, and methods of making and using thereof have applications in diagnostic and/or therapeutic compositions, methods and devices.
1. A method for treating ulcerative colitis in an animal, comprising:
administering a composition comprising an effective amount of an antibody or antibody fragment comprising a light chain variable region and a heavy chain variable region, said light chain variable region comprising a complementarity determining region light chain 1 (CDRL1) amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:50;
a CDRL2 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:56; and
a CDRL3 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:73,
said heavy chain variable region comprising:
a complementarity determining region heavy chain 1 (CDRH1) amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5;
a CDRH2 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:20; and
a CDRH3 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:44.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said effective amount is about 0.001-50 mg/kilogram of said animal.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said administering is by at least one mode selected from parenteral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarticular, intrabronchial, intraabdominal, intracapsular, intracartilaginous, intracavitary, intrapelvic, intraperitoneal, intrapleural, intrapulmonary, intrasynovial, intrathoracic, intralesional, bolus, intranasal and transdermal.
4. A method for treating ulcerative colitis in an animal, comprising:
administering a composition comprising an effective amount of an antibody or antibody fragment comprising a light chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 116 and a heavy chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 106, to said animal.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein said effective amount is about 0.001-50 mg/kilogram of said animal.
6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein said administering is by at least one mode selected from parenteral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarticular, intrabronchial, intraabdominal, intracapsular, intracartilaginous, intracavitary, intrapelvic, intraperitoneal, intrapleural, intrapulmonary, intrasynovial, intrathoracic, intralesional, bolus, intranasal and transdermal.
7. A method for treating ulcerative colitis in a human, comprising administering a composition comprising an effective amount of an antibody or antibody fragment comprising a light chain variable region and a heavy chain variable region, said light chain variable region comprising a complementarity determining region light chain 1 (CDRL1) amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:50;
a CDRL2 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:56; and
a CDRL3 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:73,
said heavy chain variable region comprising:
a complementarity determining region heavy chain 1 (CDRH1) amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5;
a CDRH2 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:20; and
a CDRH3 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:44, to said human, wherein said effective amount of antibody or antibody fragment is about 0.001-50 mg/kilogram of said human.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the antibody or antibody fragment comprises a light chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 116 and a heavy chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 106.
9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the antibody fragment is a Fab, Fab′, F(ab′) 2 , facb, pFc′, Fd, Fv or scFv.
