  • Patent number: 11820813
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a neutralising antibody which is capable of binding to neurotensin with high affinity. The antibody of the present invention neutralises the activity of neurotensin, in particular the oncogenic activities of neurotensin. In particular, the present invention relates to a neutralising antibody which binds to the human neurotensin long fragment, and having a heavy chain variable region which comprises a H-CDR1 region having at least 90% of identity with SEQ ID NO:2, a H-CDR2 region having at least 90% of identify with SEQ ID NO:3 and a H-CDR3 region having at least 90% of identity with SEQ ID NO:4; and a light chain variable region comprising a L-CDR1 region having at least 90% of identity with SEQ ID NO:6, a L-CDR2 having at least 90% of identity with SEQ ID NO:7 and a L-CDR3 region having at least 90% of identity with SEQ ID NO:8. The present invention also provides the use of such antibodies in the treatment of cancer.

  • Publication number: 20220048995
    Abstract: Cachexia is a potentially lethal syndrome afflicting mammals, frequently complicates the treatment of infection, inflammation and cancer. It is characterized by involuntary weight loss, including muscle loss and decrease in protein blood level content. The inventors now show in 2 animal models (mice fed with normal diet and mice fed with high fat diet) that neutralisation of the long fragment of neurotensin with an inhibitor of NTSR1 activation or expression prevents weight loss, muscle loss and protein blood level decrease. Accordingly, the present invention relates to use of an inhibitor of NTSR1 activation or expression for preventing weight loss, muscle loss, and protein blood level decrease in subjects in need thereof.
