Provided herein are antibodies that bind Fagales allergens, Fagales related allergens, birch pollen, or Bet v 1, compositions comprising the antibodies, nucleic acids encoding the antibodies, and methods of using the antibodies. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies are fully human monoclonal antibodies that bind to Bet v 1. The antibodies are useful for binding Bet v 1 in vivo, thus preventing binding of the allergen to pre-formed IgE on the surface of mast cells or basophils. In doing so, the antibodies act to prevent the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells and/or basophils, thus ameliorating the untoward response to the Fagales allergens in sensitized individuals.
A method of preventing or reducing mast cell degranulation or blocking basophil activation associated with natural Bet v 1, Betula pendula birch pollen extract (BPE), Betula nigra BPE, or Betula populifolia BPE sensitization, the method comprising administering to a patient in need thereof one or more human monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to natural Bet v 1 or BPE, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, wherein the one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof comprises:
A method for treating at least one symptom or complication associated with a sensitivity to, or allergic reaction against a Fagales protein, a Fagales related allergen, birch pollen or an extract thereof, or Bet v 1 protein, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof one or more human monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to natural Bet v 1 or BPE, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, wherein the one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof comprises:
A method for enhancing the efficacy and/or safety of an allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) regimen, the method comprising administering to a patient in need thereof one or more human monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to natural Bet v 1 or BPE, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, in combination with the SIT regimen, wherein the one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof comprises:
