Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining and selecting monoclonal antibodies by an ADCC-type test, said antibodies capable of activating type III Fcy receptors and having a particular glycan structure. The inventive anti-D antibodies can be used for preventing Rhesus isoimmunisation in Rh negative persons, in particular for haemolytic disease in a new-born baby or for uses such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

Abstract: Antibodies having a high specificity and high affinity towards the human gene product MUC1, which in specific variants is associated with neoplastic cells, i.e. tumor tissue, to the use of the antibodies for medical purposes, i.e. for tumor treatment, and for analytical purposes, e.g. for tumor diagnosis. Compositions comprising the antibodies, e.g. for use in the analytical processes and analysis, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies, and to use of the antibodies in the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for tumor treatment or for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chimeric protein comprising at least one human amyloid P component and at least one fragment of an Fc region of a human antibody, the human amyloid P component and the fragment of an Fc region with which it is associated being bound to each other by means of a hinge region.

Abstract: A composition includes monoclonal antibodies directed against a circulating proinflammatory cytokine, the antibodies having a high affinity for the Fc?RIIIa receptor (CD16), in particular the fucose level of all of the antibodies of the composition being less than 60%, and preferably less than 50%, and in particular, the galactosylation level of all of the antibodies of the composition being at least 60%, for the use thereof in the context of the prevention or treatment of the early phases of inflammation. A composition including monoclonal antibodies directed against a circulating bacterial toxin, having an improved affinity for the Fc?RIIIa receptor (CD16) with respect to antibodies directed against the bacterial toxin, produced in the CHO cell line, for the use thereof in the context of the prevention or treatment of the early phases of a bacterial infection linked to the release of the toxin is also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen, wherein the variable region of each of the light chains thereof is encoded by a sequence which shares at least 70% identity with murine nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID No. 5, the variable region of each of the heavy chains thereof is encoded by a sequence which shares at least 70% identity with murine nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID No. 7, and the constant regions of light and heavy chains thereof are constant regions from a non-murine species, as well as for activation of Fc?RIIIA receptors in immune effector cells, and for the manufacture of a drug especially for the treatment of leukaemia or lymphoma.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a monoclonal antibody directed against CD20 antigen, for therapeutic administration to humans, wherein each of the light chains of the antibody is encoded by murine-human chimeric nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID No. 27, and each of the heavy chains of the antibody is encoded by murine-human chimeric nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID No. 19. The invention is further directed to methods of in vitro activation of Fc?RIIIA receptors in immune effector cells with the antibody and methods of treating CD20-expressing leukaemia or lymphoma with the antibody.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of human or humanized chimeric monoclonal antibodies which are produced in selected cell lines, said antibodies bringing about a high ADCC activity as well as a high secretion of cytokines and interleukins, for treating underpopulations of so-called weak-response patients exhibiting CD16 FCGR3A-158F homozygote or FCGR3A-158V/F heterozygote polymorphism.
