Problems solved by technology

While efficient clotting limits the loss of blood at an injury site, inappropriate formation of thrombi in veins or arteries is a common cause of disability and death.
The formation of clots on foreign surfaces of artificial organs, shunts and prostheses such as artificial heart valves is also problematic.
However, due to their potency, heparin and LMW heparin suffer drawbacks.
Further, the therapeutic target range to achieve the desired level of efficacy without placing the patient at risk for bleeding is narrow.

Preparation and Screening of Anti-Factor IX Monoclonal Antibodies

[0119] Female Balb / C mice were injected with human factor IX purified as described in Jenny, R. et al., Prep. Biochem. 16, 227-245 (1986). Typically, each mouse received an initial injection of 100 ug protein dissolved in 0.15 mL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and mixed with 0.15 mL complete Freund's adjuvant. Booster immunizations of 50 ug protein in 0.15 mL PBS with 0.15 mL incomplete Freund's adjuvant were given approximately biweekly over a 2-3 month period. After the final boost, the mouse received 50 ug of Factor IX in PBS three days before spleen / myeloma cell fusions. Spleen cells were isolated from an immunized mouse and fused with NS-1 myeloma cells (Kohler, G. et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 6, 292-295 (1976)) using polyethylene glycol as described by Oi, V. T. et al. in “Selected Methods in Cellular Immunology,” Mishell, B. B. and Shigii, S. M., eds., Freeman Press, San Francisco. Following the fusion, the cells ...

Self-Limiting Effect of Anti-Coagulation Factor Antibodies in Coagulation

[0122] The effect of increasing concentrations of anti-coagulation factor antibodies on activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) of human plasma was determined in a fibrometer (Becton-Dickinson Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) using Baxter reference procedure LIB0293-J, 3 / 93 revision (Baxter Scientific, Edison, N.J.).

[0123] Prior to the start of the experiment, 2 to 3 mL of 0.02 M CaCl2 in a 5 mL tube were placed into the heating chamber of the fibrometer. Human plasma samples were either freshly drawn and kept on ice or reconstituted per the manufacturer's recommendation from Hemostasis Reference Plasma (American Diagnostics, Greenwich, Conn.).

Efficacy of Murine Factor IX mAbs in Rat Thrombus Model

[0132] In order to evaluate the efficacy of anti-Factor IX antibodies in prevention of arterial thrombosis, the rat carotid artery thrombosis model as reported by Schumacher et al. in J. Cardio. Pharm. 22, 526-533 (1993) was adapted. This model consists of segmental injury to the carotid endothelium by oxygen radicals generated by FeCl3 solution applied on the surface of the carotid artery.

[0133] In brief, rats were anesthetized with pentobarbitone sodium, the jugular vein cannulated for intravenous injections and the left femoral artery cannulated for blood pressure and heart rate monitoring. The carotid artery was isolated by aseptic technique via a surgical incision in the neck and equipped with a magnetic flow probe for blood flow measurement. After a period of stabilization, baseline parameters were established for the following variables: carotid blood flow, arterial pressure, heart rate, activated partial thromboplastin...

Description

[0001] This is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 10 / 051,852 filed 17 Jan. 2002, which is a divisional of application Ser. No. 09 / 344,050, filed 25 Jun. 1999, which is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08 / 783,853, filed 16 Jan. 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,005,091, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 010,108, filed 17 Jan. 1996, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 029,119, filed 24 Oct. 1996.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind to a human coagulation factor or cofactor and their use as self-limiting inhibitors of thrombosis. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Under normal circumstances, an injury, be it minor or major, to vascular endothelial cells lining a blood vessel triggers a hemostatic response through a sequence of events commonly referred to as the coagulation “cascade.” The cascade culminates in the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin which, together with platelets, forms...
