  • Patent number: 11136400
    Abstract: Provided is an anti-EphA4 antibody that can bind to EphA4 and enhance the cleavage of EphA4, as well as a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody as the active ingredient. A mouse anti-EphA4 antibody that has binding affinity towards EphA4 and can enhance the cleavage of EphA4 was obtained, and the sequence of the complementarity-determining region (CDR) of the mouse anti-EphA4 antibody was identified. Subsequently, the anti-EphA4 antibody of interest was obtained by producing a humanized antibody of the mouse anti-EphA4 antibody.
