  • Publication number: 20140342450
    Abstract: Provided are antibodies including human antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to CCR2, preferably human CCR2, and that may inhibit CCR2. The present antibodies may bind to the first and/or second extracellular loops of CCR2. Isolated heavy and light chains derived from the antibodies and nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibodies and chains are provided. Methods of making and using the anti-CCR2 antibodies or antigen-binding portions, and compositions comprising these antibodies or antigen-binding portions, including compositions for diagnosis and treatment, are provided. Also provided are gene therapy methods using nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy and/or light chains that comprise the human anti-CCR2 antibodies or antigen-binding portions thereof.

  • Patent number: 7687606
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention described herein relate to antibodies directed to the antigen monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and uses of such antibodies. In particular, in accordance with some embodiments, there are provided fully human monoclonal antibodies directed to the antigen MCP-1. Nucleotide sequences encoding, and amino acid sequences comprising, heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules, particularly sequences corresponding to contiguous heavy and light chain sequences spanning the framework regions and/or complementarity determining regions (CDRs), specifically from FR1 through FR4 or CDR1 through CDR3, are provided. Hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such immunoglobulin molecules and monoclonal antibodies are also provided.
