  • Patent number: 11666659
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a monoclonal antibody or a derivative thereof that specifically binds to human plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein (PLVAP, PV-1), including antigen complementarity-determining regions CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 of an antibody light chain variable region, and antigen complementarity-determining regions CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 of an antibody heavy chain variable region. The invention also provides a preparation process of a human-mouse chimeric antibody and amino acid sequences of the antibody heavy chain variable region and the antibody light chain variable region. The monoclonal antibody or derivative thereof can be used as a component of a pharmaceutical composition or prepared into a suitable medicament, administered alone or combined with other medications such as anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody and the like, for treating choroidal neovascularization fundus diseases and other angiogenesis/osmosis-related diseases.
