Abstract

Fully human monoclonal Abs includes (i) an antigen-binding variable region that exhibits very high binding affinity for IL-1α and (ii) a constant region that is effective at both activating the complement system though C1q binding and binding to several different Fc receptors.

Claims (2)

1. A method of inhibiting migration of a cell through a basement membrane matrix, the method comprising the step of adding a purified monoclonal antibody (mAb) that specifically binds to human interleukin-1alpha (IL-1α) to a mixture comprising the basement membrane matrix and the cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the purified mAb is a human IgG1 mAb comprising a heavy chain covalently joined to a light chain.
