  • Patent number: 7147851
    Abstract: The present invention relates to humanized immunoglobulins having binding specificity for ?4?7 integrin, comprising an antigen binding region of nonhuman origin (e.g., rodent) and at least a portion of an immunoglobulin of human origin (e.g., a human framework region, a human constant region). In one embodiment, the humanized immunoglobulin can compete with murine Act-1 for binding to human ?4?7 integrin. In a preferred embodiment, the antigen binding region of the humanized immunoglobulin comprises each of the complementarity determining regions of the light and heavy chains of the murine Act-1 antibody.
