AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing antibodies have difficulty in effectively inhibiting protease-mediated activation of latent TGF-β1 without affecting integrin-mediated activation and lack pH-dependent binding affinity.

Method used

Develop a cross-species, humanized anti-latent TGF-β1 antibody containing HVR and Fc region modifications with specific amino acid sequences, which can specifically bind to latent TGF-β1 in a pH-dependent manner, inhibit protease-mediated activation, and have little effect on integrin-mediated activation.

Benefits of technology

It achieves efficient inhibition of protease-mediated latent TGF-β1 activation under different pH conditions, reduces the impact on integrin-mediated activation, and has wide species applicability and high affinity.

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide anti-latent TGF-beta 1 antibodies and methods of using such antibodies. The present invention provides an anti-latent TGF-[beta] 1 antibody which inhibits protease-mediated activation of latent TGF-[beta] 1 without inhibiting integrin-mediated activation of latent TGF-[beta] 1 or which partially inhibits activation of integrin-mediated latent TGF-[beta] 1, or the antibody inhibits protease-mediated latent TGF-beta 1 activation but has a small effect on inhibition of integrin-mediated latent TGF-beta 1 activation. The present invention also provides optimized anti-latent TGF-beta 1 antibodies wherein the pH dependent binding properties are improved. The anti-latent TGF-beta 1 antibody can be used to treat fibrosis or cancer. For example, the anti-latent TGF-beta1 antibodies may be used to treat renal fibrosis, hepatic fibrosis, and pulmonary fibrosis.
