Abstract
This invention relates to antibodies that bind to and inhibit the activity of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor family receptor alpha like (GFRAL) protein. The invention also relates to the GDF15-GFRAL signalling pathway as a therapeutic target for states of cachexia and conditions involving reduction in food intake and reduction in muscle and fat mass.
Claims41

- 14 and HCDR3 SEQ ID NO:
- 15, and
- the VL domain comprises the QUEL-0201 set of light chain complementarity determining regions (LCDRs) LCDR1 SEQ ID NO:
- 18, LCDR2 SEQ ID NO:
- 19 and LCDR3 SEQ ID NO:
- 20,
- (ii) the VH domain comprises the QUEL-0301 set of heavy chain complementarity determining regions (HCDRs) HCDR1 SEQ ID NO:
- 23, HCDR2 SEQ ID NO:
- 24 and HCDR3 SEQ ID NO:
- 25, and
- the VL domain comprises the QUEL-0301 set of light chain complementarity determining regions (LCDRs) LCDR1 SEQ ID NO:
- 28, LCDR2 SEQ ID NO:
- 29 and LCDR3 SEQ ID NO:
- 30,
- (iii) the VH domain comprises the QUEL-0101 set of heavy chain complementarity determining regions (HCDRs) HCDR1 SEQ ID NO:
- 3, HCDR2 SEQ ID NO:
- 4 and HCDR3 SEQ ID NO:
- 5, and
- the VL domain comprises the QUEL-0101 set of light chain complementarity determining regions (LCDRs) LCDR1 SEQ ID NO:
- 8, LCDR2 SEQ ID NO:
- 9 and LCDR3 SEQ ID NO:
- 10,
- (iv) the VH domain has at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to the QUEL-0201 VH domain SEQ ID NO:
- 12 and
- the VL domain has at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to the QUEL-0201 VL domain SEQ ID NO:
- 17,
- (v) the VH domain has at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to the QUEL-0301 VH domain SEQ ID NO:
- 22 and
- the VL domain has at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to the QUEL-0301 VL domain SEQ ID NO:
- 27, or
- (vi) the VH domain has at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to the QUEL-0101 VH domain SEQ ID NO:
- 2 and
- the VL domain having at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to the QUEL-0101 VL domain SEQ ID NO:
- 7.
