Abstract
A diagnostic, preventive, or therapeutic agent may be used for a myeloproliferative neoplasm. An antibody or a functional fragment thereof that binds to a cleaved mutant CALR protein, may include an antigen-recognition site in (a) a polypeptide chain having an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 or (b) a polypeptide chain having an amino acid sequence having deletion, substitution, or addition of one to several amino acids in SEQ ID NO: 1; and a diagnostic, preventive, or therapeutic agent for a myeloproliferative neoplasm containing the antibody.
Claims12
An antibody or a functional fragment thereof that binds to a cleaved mutant CALR polypeptide, said antibody or functional fragment thereof selected from the group consisting of (c), (d), and (e):
- (c) an antibody in which CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the immunoglobulin VH chain are polypeptides consisting of the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 17, 18, and 19, respectively, and CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the immunoglobulin VL chain are polypeptides consisting of the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 26, 27, and 28, respectively;
- (d) an antibody in which CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the immunoglobulin VH chain are polypeptides consisting of the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 20, 21, and 22, respectively;
- and CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the immunoglobulin VL chain are polypeptides consisting of the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 29, 30, and 31, respectively;
- and
- (e) an antibody in which CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the immunoglobulin VH chain are polypeptides consisting of the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 23, 24, and 25, respectively;
- and CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the immunoglobulin VL chain are polypeptides consisting of the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 32, 33, and 34, respectively.
