Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, that bind to the F-protein (fusion protein) of metapneumovims (MPV). The antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, neutralize infection of MPV. The invention also relates to nucleic acids that encode, and to cells that express such antibodies and antibody fragments. In addition, the invention relates to the use of the antibodies and antibody fragments in methods for detecting and checking an MPV antigen as well as in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of MPV infection.

Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies that neutralize infection of influenza A virus. The invention also provides nucleic acids that encode and immortalized B cells and cultured plasma cells that produce such antibodies. In addition, the invention provides the use of the antibodies of the invention in prophylaxis and treatment influenza A infection.

Abstract: The instant disclosure provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that are specific for Campylobacter and, in certain embodiments, are capable of neutralizing a Campylobacter infection in a subject. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises an IgA antibody, such as, for example, a secretory IgA antibody. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a disclosed antibody or antigen-binding fragment. Methods of using the antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, and compositions to treat or prevent a Campylobacter infection in a subject are also provided. In certain embodiments, recombinant secretory IgA antibodies of the instant disclosure are administered orally to a subject having or at risk of developing a Campylobacter infection.

Abstract: An anti-TrkA antibody is provided that comprises: a) a variable heavy chain comprising a sequence selected from any of BXhVH1, BXhVH2, BXhVH3, BXhVH4, BXhVH5, or HuVHWOv as shown in FIG. 1a; or from variants of any of said sequences and/or b) a variable light chain comprising a sequence selected from any of BXhVL1, BXhVL2, BXhVL3, BXhVL4, BXhVL5, BXhVL6, BXhVL7 or BXhVL8; as shown in FIG. 1b, or from variants of any of said sequences. TrkA-binding derivatives are also provided. Antibodies or derivatives of the present invention are useful in a number of therapies, including pain therapy.
