Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies, including human antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to MAdCAM, preferably human MAdCAM, and inhibit MAdCAM. The antibodies comprise the CDRs or variable domains derived from an antibody produced by the hybridoma cell line 7.16.6 (ECACC Accession No. 03090909) or from an antibody comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs.: 34 and 36. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding such antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof, methods of making and using the antibodies and portions, and compositions comprising these antibodies and portions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to a M-CSF, preferably human M-CSF, and that function to inhibit a M-CSF. The invention also relates to human anti-M-CSF antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof. The invention also relates to antibodies that are chimeric, bispecific, derivatized, single chain antibodies or portions of fusion proteins. The invention also relates to isolated heavy and light chain immunoglobulins derived from human anti-M-CSF antibodies and nucleic acid molecules encoding such immunoglobulins. The present invention also relates to methods of making human anti-M-CSF antibodies, compositions comprising these antibodies and methods of using the antibodies and compositions for diagnosis and treatment. The invention also provides gene therapy methods using nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy and/or light immunoglobulin molecules that comprise the human anti-M-CSF antibodies.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to methods of identifying and creating human or humanized antibodies that possess a reduced risk of inducing a Human Anti-Human Antibody (HAHA) response when they are applied to a human host. Other methods are directed to predicting the likelihood of a HAHA response occurring. Methods for screening for anti-HAHA compounds are also included. Methods for determining if various conditions for administering an antibody to a subject enhance or suppress a HAHA response are also included.
