  • Patent number: 8771694
    Abstract: A chimeric LL2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) is described in which the variable regions of the murine LL2 mAb are recombinantly joined to the human constant region domains, which retains the immunospecificity and B-cell lymphoma and leukemia cell internalization capacity of the murine LL2 (mAB), and which exhibits reduced human anti-mouse antibody production activity (HAMA). A humanized LL2 mAb is described in which the CDRs are recombinantly joined to a framework sequence of human variable regions, and subsequently linked to human constant region domains, which retains the immunospecificity and B-lymphoma and leukemia cell internalization capacities of the murine and chimeric LL2 mABs, and has the potential for exhibiting reduced HAMA. Isolated DNAs encoding the LL2 variable and CDR framework regions are described. Conjugates of chimeric and humanized chimeric LL2 antibodies with cytotoxic agents or labels find use in therapy and diagnosis of B-cell lymphomas and leukemias.

In more preferred embodiments, the at least one arm comprises the CDR sequences of the HSG-binding 679 antibody. The targetable conjugate is attached to one or more therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents. The invention provides constructs and methods for producing the bispecific antibodies or antibody fragments, as well as methods for using them and kits comprising them.

  • Publication number: 20100197896
    Abstract: Current humanization approaches for immunoglobulins focus mostly on modifying the framework regions into human sequences. Herein is provided a method for humanizing antibody complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) through functional humanization to reduce the potential immunogenicity of non-human CDR-containing antibodies. CDRs with high sequence homology to the parent CDR are identified from a database of human CDR sequences. One or more human CDRs that are highly homologous to the parent CDR sequence can be used to replace the corresponding CDRs of murine immunoglobulins (or their humanized, or re-engineered versions). Human CDRs that improve or have minimal effects on the antigen binding affinity and specificity are adopted.
