  • Patent number: 8367061
    Abstract: Novel anti-idiotype monoclonal antibodies are described which are capable of specifically reacting with the idiotype of human anti-gp120 antibodies, of inhibiting the binding between the gp120 antigen and human anti-gp120 antibodies, and of evoking a neutralising anti-gp120 immune response in an animal host to which they are administered. The anti-idiotype antibodies of the invention can be identified based on the amino acid sequences of the variable portions of their light and heavy chains. In addition, a method for obtaining a panel of anti-idiotype monoclonal antibodies, expression vectors and transformed host cells usable in a recombinant DNA procedure in order to generate the aforesaid anti-idiotype monoclonal antibodies, as well as the therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic use of such antibodies are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120165211
    Abstract: The present invention refers to human antibodies derived from human antibody libraries prepared from atherosclerotic plaques. It further refers to human antibodies able to immunologically recognize both human transgelin or fragments thereof and a protein with at least 50% similarity to OmpK36 (Outer membrane protein, Klebsiella, K36; GI: 295881594) or fragments thereof. Human transgelin is preferably transgelin 1 (Accession N° Q01995, GI:48255907). The antibodies further recognize an antigen in the atherosclerotic plaque and are useful for the preparation of immunodiagnostic reagents or assays to detect atherogenic diseases. The invention also relates to the use of anti-TAGLN monoclonal antibodies, showing cross-reactivity with a bacterial antigen having at least 50% similarity with OmpK36, for detecting antigens in the atherosclerotic plaque or as atherosclerotic related reagents in an immuno-competition assay.
