The present invention provides a recombinant antibody or an antibody fragment thereof which specifically binds to human insulin-like growth factor-I (hereinafter referred to as hIGF-I) and human insulin-like growth factor-II (hereinafter referred to as hIGF-II) to inhibit the biological activities of human IGF-I and human IGF-II, a transformant producing the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof, a process for producing the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof, and a medicament comprising the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof as the active ingredient therein.

Abstract: An antibody which binds to a polypeptide encoded by human PERP (p53 apoptosis effector related to PMP-22) gene which is considered to be related to incidence of cancer or the like is desired. The present invention provides a gene recombinant antibody which has no consensus sequence of an N-linked sugar chain in a variable region, specifically recognizes three-dimensional structure of an extracellular region of a polypeptide encoded by the PERP gene and binds to the extracellular region. The antibody is useful for treatment of various diseases expressing a polypeptide encoded by the PERP gene.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell for the production of an antibody molecule such as an antibody useful for various diseases having high antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxic activity, a fragment of the antibody and a fusion protein having the Fc region of the antibody or the like, a method for producing an antibody composition using the cell, the antibody composition and use thereof.

Abstract: For the effective treatment of diseases such as cancer in which hIGF participates, there have been desired to be developed antibodies which strongly bind to both factors hIGF-I and hIGF-II and inhibit their functions and fragments of these antibodies. The present invention provides antibodies which have the ability to specifically bind to human IGF-I and IGF-II to thereby inhibit the functions of human IGF-I and IGF-II and have binding activity with a binding constant of 5×109 M?1 or more measured with a biosensor BIACORE. In addition, the present invention provides diagnostics, preventives and remedies for an hIGF-mediated disease and a disease showing pathological progressing due to abnormally promoted hIGF production, which use said antibodies.
