  • Patent number: 9206251
    Abstract: The disclosure provides antibodies that are useful for, among other things, inhibiting terminal complement (e.g., the assembly and/or activity of the C5b-9 TCC) and C5a anaphylatoxin-mediated inflammation and, thus, treating complement-associated disorders. The antibodies have a number of improved properties relative to eculizumab, including, e.g., increased serum half-life in a human.

  • Publication number: 20150166643
    Abstract: This invention relates to humaneered anti-factor B antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof with modified glycosylation patterns. The humaneered anti-factor B antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof are derived from murine monoclonal antibody 1379, which binds factor B in the third short consensus repeat (“SCR”) domain and selectively inhibits activation of the alternative complement pathway by preventing formation of the C3bBb complex. The invention also relates to methods of treating diseases or disorders in which activation of the alternative complement pathway plays a role, and methods of selectively inhibiting activation of the alternative complement pathway in an individual in need thereof.
