Abstract

The present disclosure provides isolated monoclonal antibodies, particularly human monoclonal antibodies, or antigen binding portions thereof, that specifically bind to integrin α5β1 with high affinity. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibodies of the disclosure, expression vectors, host cells and methods for expressing the antibodies of the disclosure are also provided. Immunoconjugates, bispecific molecules and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies or antigen binding portions thereof are also provided. The disclosure also provides methods for treating various cancers using the anti-α5β1 antibodies or antigen binding portions thereof described herein.

Claims (18)

1. An isolated monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that binds to human integrin α5β1, wherein said antibody or antigen-binding portion comprises:

(a) a heavy chain CDR1 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1;

(b) a heavy chain CDR2 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:2;

(c) a heavy chain CDR3 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:3;

(d) a light chain CDR1 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:4;

(e) a light chain CDR2 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:5; and

(f) a light chain CDR3 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:6.

2. The antibody or antigen-binding portion of claim 1 , comprising a heavy chain variable region amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:7.

3. The antibody or antigen-binding portion of claim 1 , comprising a light chain variable region amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:8.

4. The antibody or antigen-binding portion of claim 1 , comprising a heavy chain variable region amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:7; and a light chain variable region amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:8.

5. The antibody of claim 1 , where said antibody is a human full-length IgG1 antibody.

6. The antibody of claim 5 , wherein the Fc region of said IgG1 antibody comprises at least one mutation selected from the group consisting of: serine 247 to aspartic acid (S247D); alanine 338 to leucine (A338L); and isoleucine 340 to glutamic acid (I340E).

7. The antibody of claim 6 , where the Fc region comprises the mutations S247D, A338L, and I340E.

8. An isolated antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that binds human integrin α5β1 comprising:

a) a heavy chain amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:9; and

b) a light chain amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:10, with the proviso that the C-terminal lysine reside of SEQ ID NO:9 is optionally not present.

9. An isolated antibody that binds human integrin α5β1 and comprises a variable heavy chain region encoded by the material deposited as ATCC Deposit No: PTA-9377, and a variable light chain region encoded by the material deposited as ATCC Deposit No: PTA-9378.

10. A composition comprising the antibody or antigen-binding portion of any of claims 1 to 9 , and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
