Abstract: The present invention provides a human monoclonal antibody, and antigen-binding portions thereof, capable of binding to human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) and neutralizing the bioactivity of the hGM-CSF, wherein the anti-hGM-CSF monoclonal antibody has a light chain (L chain) including an amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:1 and a heavy chain (H chain) including an amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 2. Also provided are human monoclonal anti-hGM-CSF antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, characterized by complementarity determining regions (CDRs) or H chain and L chain variable regions related to SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2. Antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, of the invention are useful in the treatment of diseases associated with overproduction of hGM-CSF, including allergic disease, graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a human monoclonal antibody and an antigen binding portion of a human monoclonal antibody with higher affinity and neutralizing capacity to the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a virus which causes various diseases in situations where immunodeficiencies are present. The current invention provides an anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) monoclonal antibody which is a human monoclonal antibody capable of binding to HCMV and neutralizing bioactivity of the HCMV, and which may be further characterized as possessing a light chain (L chain) comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID. NO. 1, and has a heavy chain (H chain) comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 2.

Abstract: [Problems] The present invention aims to provide a human monoclonal antibody with higher affinity and neutralizing capacity to the hGM-CSF, whose overproduction causes various diseases. [Means for Solving Problems] An anti-hGM-CSF monoclonal antibody which is a human monoclonal antibody capable of binding to hGM-CSF and neutralizing bioactivity of the hGM-CSF, wherein the anti-hGM-CSF monoclonal antibody has a light chain (L chain) represented by an amino acid sequence of sequence number 1, and has a heavy chain (H chain) represented by an amino acid sequence of sequence number 2.
