Abstract
The present invention provides caninized rat antibodies to canine IL-31 receptor alpha that have a high binding affinity for canine IL-31 receptor alpha, and that can block the binding of canine IL-31 to canine IL-31 receptor alpha. The present invention further provides the use of the antibodies for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in dogs.
