  • Patent number: 10208107
    Abstract: Antibodies that specifically bind influenza virus hemagglutinin A (HA), and antigen binding fragments thereof are disclosed herein. In several embodiments, these antibodies are broadly neutralizing. Nucleic acids encoding these monoclonal antibodies, vectors including these nucleic acids, and host cells transformed with these vectors are also disclosed. Compositions are disclosed that include these antibodies, antigen binding fragments, nucleic acids, vectors and host cells. Method of using these antibodies, and antigen binding fragments, nucleic acids, vectors and host cells, such as for diagnosis and treatment of an influenza virus infection are also provided.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Rafi Ahmed, Jens Wrammert, Patrick C. Wilson
  • Patent number: 9469685
    Abstract: Antibodies or antibody fragments, wherein the antibody or the fragment binds HA domain of influenza virus (e.g. H1N1, H5N1, or both). Also described are cloned human antibodies that bind influenza.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2016

    Inventors: Rafi Ahmed, Jens Wrammert, Patrick C. Wilson
  • Patent number: 9458226
    Abstract: Antibodies that bind with high affinity to swine H1N1 virus are described. In vivo experiments showed that one such antibody is able to fully protect mice challenged with a lethal dose of swine H1N1 virus. The antibody is also able to cure mice in a therapeutic setting when treated as late as up to 60 hours (2.5 days) after infection with swine H1N1 virus. Also described are recombinant forms of this antibody.

  • Patent number: 8563305
    Abstract: High efficient methods for producing an antibody molecule that binds an antigen are described. The methods include obtaining a population of PBMC enriched for CD19highCD3negCD20low to negCD38highCD27high cells from a mammal exposed to an antigen from sample of cells enriched for PBMC. The cells are isolated from a sample obtained at a time that the fraction of PBMC expressing antibody reactive to the antigen is at a high level. Sequences encoding heavy and light chain variable domains are prepared in a manner that allow production of molecules with natural heavy and light chain pairing.
