Publication number: 20220089745Abstract: Antibodies and antigen-binding antibody fragments that bind to GPIIb/IIIa and chimeric polypeptides comprising these binding molecules are disclosed. Some of these antibodies and antigen-binding antibody fragments preferentially bind GPIIb/IIIa on activated platelets while others do not show a preference for binding GPIIb/IIIa on resting versus activated platelets. Some of these antibodies and antibody fragments do not inhibit the interaction of GPIIb/IIIa with fibrinogen, while some others do. The disclosed antibodies do not induce platelet activation. Some of these antibodies and antigen-binding antibody fragments are useful in targeting therapeutic agents such as dotting factors to platelets while others are useful in reducing platelet aggregation and/or thrombus formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicant: Biogen MA Inc.Inventors: Bradley Pearse, Joe Salas, Robert Peters, Christilyn Graff

Publication number: 20210395360Abstract: Endogenous Sp35 is a negative regulator for neuronal survival, axon regeneration, oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Molecules that block endogenous Sp35 function, such anti-Sp35 antibodies can be used as therapeutics for the treatment of neuron and oligodendrocyte dysfunction. The present invention provides antibodies specific for Sp35, and methods of using such antibodies as antagonists of endogenous Sp35 function. The invention further provides specific hybridoma and phage library-derived monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising these antibodies. The invention further provides methods of promoting oligodendrocyte survival and myelination in a vertebrate, comprising administering to a vertebrate in need of such treatment an effective amount of an anti-Sp35 antibody.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: Biogen MA Inc.Inventors: Sha Mi, R. Blake Pepinsky, Zhaohui Shao, Ellen A. Garber Stark, Steven D. Miklasz, Christilyn Graff
