The invention provides anti-complement component antibodies such as anti-C1s antibodies and anti-C1r antibodies, and methods of using the same. The invention also provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising the antibodies, and methods of treating an individual having a complement-mediated disease or disorder comprising administering the antibody to the individual. The binding specificity and C1q displacement function of the anti-C1s antibodies and anti-C1r antibodies are evaluated. Time dependent complement neutralization function and binding to native and truncated C1s or C1r proteins are also shown for the antibodies.
An isolated antibody that inhibits the interaction between C1q and C1r2s2 complex, wherein the antibody has a displacement function such that the antibody binds to C1qrs complex and promotes dissociation of C1q from C1qrs complex.
An isolated antibody that inhibits the interaction between C1q and C1r2s2 complex, wherein the antibody has a neutralizing activity for human serum complement of at least 70% in an RBC assay.
An isolated antibody that inhibits the interaction between C1q and C1r2s2 complex,
An isolated antibody that inhibits the interaction between C1q and C1r2s2 complex, wherein the antigen-binding activity of the antibody is lower at pH 5.8 than at pH 7.4.
