Abstract
The present invention provides compounds and methods targeting human interleukin-19, including therapeutic antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions and diagnostic applications useful in the field of immune-mediated diseases including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, psoriatic arthritis, bronchial asthma and diabetic nephropathy.
Claims2
A method of detecting IL-19 in a patient sample comprising the steps of:
- contacting the patient sample with a first antibody, said first antibody binding a first epitope region of IL-19;
- wherein the first antibody comprises a light chain variable region (LCVR) and a heavy chain variable region (HCVR), wherein the LCR and HCVR are selected from:
- a. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 66 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 70;
- b. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 74 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 78;
- c. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 82 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 86;
- d. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 34 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 38;
- e. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 42 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 46;
- f. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 50 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 54;
- g. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 58 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 62;
- h. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 294 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 298;
- and
- i. the LCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 302 and the HCVR having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 306, and
- contacting the patient sample with a second antibody, said second antibody binding a second epitope region of IL-19 and said second antibody comprising a detectable label;
- wherein the second antibody comprises a light chain variable region (LCVR) and a heavy chain variable region (HCVR), wherein the LCVR comprises complementarity determining regions (CDRs) LCDR1 set forth in SEQ ID NO. 11, LCDR2 set forth in SEQ ID NO. 12, and LCDR3 set forth in SEQ ID NO. 13 and the HCVR comprises CDRs HCDR1 set forth in SEQ ID NO. 15, HCDR2 set forth in SEQ ID NO. 16 and HCDR3 set forth in SEQ ID NO. 17, and
- detecting a signal provided by said detectable label of the second antibody contacting the patient sample.
