HUMANIZED ANTI-C1S ANTIBODIES AND METHODS FOR USING THEM BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The complement system is a well-known effector mechanism of the immune response, providing not only protection against pathogens and other harmful agents but also recovery from injury. The complement pathway comprises a number of proteins that typically exist in the body in an inactive form. The classical complement pathway is triggered by activation of the first complement component, referred to as the Cl complex, which consists of the proteins Clq, Clr, and Cls. Upon binding Cl to an immune complex or other activator, the Cls component, a diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP)-sensitive serine protease, cleaves the C4 and C2 complement components to initiate activation of the classical complement pathway. The classical complement pathway appears to play a role in many diseases and disorders. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This description provides humanized anti-Cls antibodies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions The terms antibodies and immunoglobulin include antibodies or immunoglobulins of any isotype, antibody fragments that retain specific antigen binding, including, but not limited to, Fab, Fv, scFv, and Fd fragments, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, single-chain antibodies (scAb), single-domain antibodies (dAb), single-domain heavy-chain antibodies, a single-domain light-chain antibody, bispecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies, and fusion proteins comprising an antigen-binding portion (also referred to herein as the antigen-binding portion) of an antibody and a non-antibody protein. Antibodies may be detectably labeled, for example, with a radioisotope, an enzyme that generates a detectable product, a fluorescent protein, and the like.Antibodies may be further conjugated with other fragments, such as members of specific binding pairs, for example, biotin (member of the biotin-avidin specific binding pair), and the like. Antibodies may also be bound to a solid support, including, but not limited to, polystyrene plates or beads and the like. The term also encompasses Fab', Fv, F(ab')2, and / or other antibody fragments that retain specific antigen binding, and monoclonal antibodies. As used herein, a monoclonal antibody is an antibody produced by a group of identical cells, all of which were produced from a single cell by repeated cell replication. That is, the cell clone produces only one type of antibody.While a monoclonal antibody can be produced using hybridoma production technology, other production methods known to those skilled in the art can also be used (e.g., antibodies derived from antibody phage expression libraries). An antibody can be monovalent or bivalent. An antibody can be a monomer. Ig, which is a Y-shaped molecule consisting of four polypeptide chains: two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bonds. The term humanized immunoglobulin or humanized antibody, as used herein, refers to an immunoglobulin comprising parts of immunoglobulins from different sources, where at least one part comprises amino acid sequences of human origin. For example, the humanized antibody may comprise parts derived from a non-human immunoglobulin with the required specificity, such as from a mouse, and from immunoglobulin sequences of human origin (e.g., chimeric immunoglobulin), chemically linked by conventional techniques (e.g., synthetic) or prepared as a contiguous polypeptide using genetic engineering techniques (e.g., the DNA encoding the protein parts of the chimeric antibody may be expressed to produce a contiguous polypeptide chain).Another example of a humanized immunoglobulin is an immunoglobulin containing one or more immunoglobulin chains comprising a CDR derived from a non-human antibody and a frame region derived from a human light and / or heavy chain (e.g., CDR-grafted antibodies with or without frameshifting). These are CDR-grafted or chimeric single-chain antibodies. ML / a / ZUZZ / UU I UO3 are also encompassed by the term humanized immunoglobulin. See, for example, Cabilly et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567; Cabilly et al., European Patent No. 0,125,023 Bl; Boss et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,816,397; Boss et al., European Patent No. 0,120,694 Bl; Neuberger, MS et al., WO 86 / 01533; Neuberger, MS et al., European Patent No. 0,194,276 Bl; Winter, U.S. Patent No. 5,225,539; Winter, European Patent No. 0,239,400 Bl; Padlan, EA et al., European patent application no. 0,519,596 Al. See also, Ladner et al., US patent no. 4,946,778; Huston, US patent no. 5,476,786; and Bird, RE et al., Science, 242: 423-426 (1988)), regarding single-chain antibodies. For example, humanized immunoglobulins can be produced using recombinant and / or synthetic nucleic acids to prepare genes (e.g., cDNA) encoding the desired humanized strand. For example, nucleic acid sequences (e.g., DNA) encoding humanized variable regions can be constructed using PCR mutagenesis methods to alter DNA sequences encoding a humanized or human strand, such as a DNA model of a previously humanized variable region (see, for example, Kamman, M., et al., Nuci. Acids Res., 17: 5404 (1989)); Sato, K., et al., Cancer Research, 53: 851-856 (1993); Daugherty, BL et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 19(9): 2471-2476 (1991); and Lewis, AP and JS Crowe, Gene, 101: 297-302 (1991)). Using these or other suitable methods, variants can also be easily produced. For example, cloned variable regions can be mutagenized, and variants encoding sequences with the desired specificity can be selected (e.g., from a phage library; see, for example, Krebber et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,514,548; Hoogenboom et al., WO 93 / 06213, published April 1, 1993). Antibody fragments comprise a portion of an intact antibody, for example, the variable or antigen-binding region of the intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies (Zapata et al., Protein Eng. 8(10): 1057-1062 (1995)); domain antibodies (dAb; Holt et al. (2003) Trends Biotechnol. 21:484); single-chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. Papain digestion of antibodies yields two identical antigen-binding fragments, called Fab fragments, each with a single antigen-binding site, and a residual Fe fragment, a designation that reflects its ability to crystallize rapidly. Treatment with pepsin provides an F(ab')2 fragment that has two antigen-binding sites and is still capable of cross-linking the antigen. Fv is the minimal antibody fragment that contains a complete antigen recognition and binding site. This region consists of a dimer of a heavy-chain variable domain and a light-chain variable domain in close, non-covalent association. It is in this configuration that the three CDRs of each variable domain interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the Vr-Vl dimer. Together, the six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half of Fv, comprising only three antigen-specific CDRs) has the ability to recognize and bind the antigen, albeit at a lower affinity than the entire binding site. The Fab fragment also contains the light chain constant domain and the first heavy chain constant domain (CHi). Fab fragments differ from Fab' fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain CHi domain, which includes one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab'-SH is the designation used herein for Fab' fragments in which the cysteine residues of the constant domains bear at least one free thiol group. F(ab')2 antibody fragments were originally produced as pairs of Fab' fragments with hinge cisternae between them. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known. The light chains of antibodies (immunoglobulins) from any vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two distinct types, called kappa and lambda, based on the amino acid sequences of their constant domains. Based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain of their heavy chains, immunoglobulins can be assigned to different classes. There are five main classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these classes can be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), for example, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, and IgA2. Subclasses can be further divided into types, for example, IgG2a and IgG2b. Single-chain Fv antibody fragments, or scFv, comprise the Vh and Vl domains of the antibody, where these domains are present in a single polypeptide chain. In some embodiments, the Fv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linkage between the Vh and Vl domains, which allows the sFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding. For a summary of sFv, see Plückthun in *The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies*, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore, eds. ML / a / ZUZZ / UU I UO3 Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994). The term diabodies refers to small antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites, where the fragments comprise a heavy-chain variable domain (Vh) linked to a light-chain variable domain (Vl) on the same polypeptide chain (Vh-Vl). By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between two domains on the same chain, the domains are forced to pair with complementary domains on another chain, thus creating two antigen-binding sites. Diabodies are described in more detail in, for example, EP 404,097; WO 93 / 11161; and Hollinger et al. (1993) Proc. Nati. Acad. Sel. USA 90:6444-6448. As used herein, the term affinity refers to the equilibrium constant for the reversible binding of two agents (e.g., an antibody and an antigen) and is expressed as a dissociation constant (Kd). Affinity may be at least 1 times greater, at least 2 times greater, at least 3 times greater, at least 4 times greater, at least 5 times greater, at least 6 times greater, at least 7 times greater, at least 8 times greater, at least 9 times greater, at least 10 times greater, at least 20 times greater, at least 30 times greater, at least 40 times greater, at least 50 times greater, at least 60 times greater, at least 70 times greater, at least 80 times greater, at least 90 times greater, at least 100 times greater, or at least 1000 times greater, or more, than the affinity of an antibody for unrelated amino acid sequences. The affinity of an antibody with respect to a target protein can be, for example, from around 100 nanomolar (nM) to around 0.1 nM, from about 100 nM to about 1 picomolar (pM), or from about 100 nM to about 1 femtomolar (fM) or more. As used herein, the term avidity refers to the resistance of a complex of two or more agents to dissociation after dilution. The terms immunoreactive and preferentially binds are used interchangeably with respect to antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments. The term binding refers to a direct association between molecules due to, for example, covalent, electrostatic, hydrophobic, and ionic interactions and / or hydrogen bonding, including interactions such as salt bridges and water bridges. A humanized anti-Cls antibody of the present description binds specifically to an epitope within a Cls complement protein. Specific binding refers to binding with an affinity of at least approximately 10⁻⁷ M or greater, for example, 5 x 10⁻⁷ M, 10⁻³ M, 5 x 10⁻⁸ M, and greater. Nonspecific binding refers to binding with an affinity less than approximately 10⁻⁷ M, for example, binding with an affinity of 10⁻⁶ M, 10⁻⁵ M, and greater. IO-4M, etc. As used herein, the term CDR or complementarity-determining region is intended to mean the non-contiguous antigen that combines sites found within the variable region of both heavy-chain and light-chain polypeptides. CDRs have been described by Kabat et al., J. Biol. Chem. 252:6609-6616 (1977); Kabat et al., U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Sequences of proteins of immunological interest (1991) (also referred to herein as Kabat 1991); by Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987) (also referred to herein as Chothia 1987); and MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol. 262:732-745 (1996), where the definitions include overlap or subsets of amino acid residues when compared to each other.However, the application of any definition to refer to a CDR of an antibody or grafted antibodies or variants thereof is included within the scope of the expression as defined and used herein. The amino acid residues, encompassing the CDRs, as defined by each of the references cited above are set out for comparison in Table 1 below. The CDRs described in Figures 1-8 were.

As used herein, the terms CDR-H1, CDR-H2, and CDR-H3 refer, respectively, to the first, second, and third CDRs in a heavy-chain variable region. As used herein, the terms CDR-1, CDR-2, and CDR-3 refer, respectively, to the first, second, and third CDRs of the variable region of either chain. As used herein, the term frame (FR) when used in reference to an antibody variable region is intended to mean all amino acid residues outside the CDR regions within the variable region of an antibody. A variable region frame is generally a discontinuous amino acid sequence of approximately 100–120 amino acids in length, but the term FR is intended to refer only to those amino acids outside the CDRs. As used herein, the term frame region is intended to mean each domain of the frame that is separated by the CDRs. A light-chain variable region (VL region) may have four frame regions: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Similarly, a heavy-chain variable region (VH region) may have four frame regions: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. An isolated antibody is one that has been identified and separated and / or recovered from a compound in its natural environment. Contaminating components in its natural environment are materials that would interfere with the antibody's diagnostic or therapeutic uses and may include enzymes, hormones, and other protein or non-protein solutes. In some modalities, the antibody will be purified (1) to greater than 90%, greater than 95%, or greater than 98% by weight of the antibody as determined by the Lowry method, e.g., greater than 99% by weight, (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of internal or N-terminus amino acid sequence by using a rotating cup sequencer, or (3) to homogeneity by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) under reducing or non-reducing conditions using Coomassie blue or silver staining.The isolated antibody includes the antibody in situ within recombinant cells, since at least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not be present. In some cases, the isolated antibody will be prepared through at least one purification step. The terms polypeptide, peptide, and protein, used interchangeably herein, refer to a polymeric form of amino acids of any length, which may include genetically encoded and non-genetically encoded amino acids, chemically or biochemically modified or derived amino acids, and polypeptides having modified peptide backbones.

Humanizing a framework region reduces risk IVIA / a / ZUZZ / UU I UO3 of the antibody that elicits a human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) response in humans. Methods recognized in the art for determining the immune response can be used to monitor an ARAM response in a particular patient or during clinical trials. Patients receiving humanized antibodies can be given an immunogenicity assessment at the start of and during therapy. The ARAM response is measured, for example, by detecting antibodies to the humanized therapeutic reagent in patient serum samples using a method known to a practitioner, including surface plasmon resonance technology (BIACORE) and / or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In many cases, a humanized anti-Cls antibody from a human subject does not substantially elicit an ARAM response in a human subject. Specific amino acids from the human variable frame region residues are selected for substitution based on their potential influence on CDR conformation and / or antigen binding. Unnatural juxtaposition of murine CDR regions with the human variable frame region can result in unnatural conformational constraints, which, unless corrected by substitution of specific amino acid residues, lead to a loss of binding affinity. The selection of amino acid residues for substitution can be determined, in part, by computer modeling. The computer hardware and software for producing three-dimensional images of immunoglobulin molecules are well-known in the field. In general, molecular models are produced starting from resolved structures for immunoglobulin chains or domains. The chains to be modeled are compared for amino acid sequence similarity with chains or domains in resolved three-dimensional structures, and the chains or domains showing the greatest sequence similarity are selected as starting points for molecular model construction. Chains or domains that share at least 50% sequence identity are selected for modeling; for example, those that share at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or more sequence identity are selected for modeling.The solved starting structures are modified to account for the differences between the actual amino acids in the modeled immunoglobulin chains or domains and those in the starting structure. The modified structures are then assembled into a composite immunoglobulin. Finally, the model is refined by minimizing energy and by verifying that all atoms are within appropriate distances from each other and that bond angles and lengths are within chemically acceptable limits. The frame and CDR regions are as defined by Kabat, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1987 and 1991). An alternative structural definition has been proposed by Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol. 196:901 (1987); Nature 342:878 (1989); and J. Mol. Biol. 186:651 (1989) (collectively referred to as Chothia). When frame residues, as defined by Kabat, supra, constitute structural loop residues defined by Chothia, supra, amino acids present in the mouse antibody can be selected for substitution in the humanized antibody.Residues adjacent to a CDR region include amino acid residues in positions immediately adjacent to one or more CDRs in the primary sequence of the humanized immunoglobulin chain, for example, in positions immediately adjacent to a CDR as defined by Kabat or a CDR as defined by Chothia (see, for example, Chothia and Lesk JMB 196:901 (1987)). These amino acids are particularly likely to interact with amino acids in the CDRs and, if selected from the acceptor, to distort the donor CDRs and reduce affinity. Furthermore, adjacent amino acids may interact directly with the antigen (Amit et al., Science, 233:747 (1986)), and selecting these amino acids from the donor may be desirable to maintain all antigen contacts that provide affinity in the original antibody.

Intravenous vehicles include fluid and nutrient regenerators, electrolyte regenerators (such as those based on Ringer's dextrose), and the like.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present description may include additional agents such as dopamine or psychopharmacological drugs, depending on the intended use of the pharmaceutical composition. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a humanized anti-Cls antibody of the present description are prepared by mixing a humanized anti-Cls antibody of the present description having the desired degree of purity with optional physiologically acceptable carriers, other excipients, stabilizers, surfactants, buffers, and / or tonicity agents. The acceptable carriers, other excipients, and / or stabilizers are non-toxic to the intended users at the dosages and concentrations employed and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid, glutathione, cysteine, methionine, and citric acid; preservatives (such as ethanol, benzyl alcohol, phenol, m-cresol, p-chloro-m-cresol, methyl or propyl parabens, benzalkonium chloride, or combinations thereof);amino acids such as arginine, glycine, ornithine, lysine, histidine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, isoleucine, leucine, alanine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, methionine, serine, proline and combinations thereof; monosaccharides, disaccharides and other carbohydrates; low molecular weight polypeptides (less than about 10 residues); proteins, such as serum albumin or gelatin; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as trehalose, sucrose, lactose, glucose, mannose, maltose, galactose, fructose, sorbose, raffinose, glucosamine, N61 methylglucosamine, galactosamine and neuraminic acid; and / or non-ionic surfactants such as Tween, Brij Pluronics, Triton-X or polyethylene glycol (PEG). The pharmaceutical composition may be in liquid form, lyophilized form, or liquid form reconstituted from a lyophilized form, where the lyophilized preparation is reconstituted with a sterile solution prior to administration. The standard procedure for reconstituting a lyophilized composition is to add back a volume of pure water (typically equivalent to the volume removed during lyophilization); however, solutions comprising antibacterial agents may be used for the production of pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration; see also Chen (1992) Drug Dev Ind Pharm 18, 1311-54. The concentrations of example antibodies in a pharmaceutical composition of the present may range from about 1 mg / mL to about 200 mg / mL or from about 50 mg / mL to about 200 mg / mL, or from about 150 mg / mL to about 200 mg / mL. An aqueous formulation of a humanized anti-Cls antibody of the present description can be prepared in a buffered solution with pH, for example, a pH ranging from about 4.0 to about 7.0, or from about 5.0 to about 6.0, or alternatively IVIA / a / ZUZZ / UU I UO3 around 5.5. Examples of buffers suitable for a pH within this range include phosphate, histidine, citrate, succinate, acetate, and other organic acid buffers. The buffer concentration can range from around 1 mM to around 100 mM or from around 5 mM to around 50 mM, depending, for example, on the buffer and the desired tonicity of the formulation. A tonicity agent can be included in the antibody formulation to modulate its tonicity. Examples of tonicity agents include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, glycerin, and any component of the amino acid group, sugars, or combinations thereof. In some formulations, the aqueous formulation is isotonic, although hypertonic or hypotonic solutions may be suitable. The term isotonic denotes a solution that has the same tonicity as another solution to which it is compared, such as physiological saline or serum. Tonicity agents can be used in concentrations ranging from approximately 5 mM to approximately 350 mM, for example, from 100 mM to 350 nM. A surfactant can also be added to the antibody formulation to reduce aggregation of the formulated antibody and / or minimize particle formation in the formulation and / or reduce absorption. Example surfactants include polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters (Tween), polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers (Brij), alkylphenyl polyoxyethylene ethers (Triton-X), polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymer (Poloxamer, Pluronic), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Examples of suitable polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters are polysorbate 20 (sold under the trade name Tween 20™) and polysorbate 80 (sold under the trade name Tween 80™). Examples of suitable polyethylene-polypropylene copolymers are those sold under the names Pluronic® F68 or Poloxamer 188™. Examples of suitable polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers are those sold under the trade name Brij™.Example surfactant concentrations can range from around 0.001% to around 1% w / v. A lyoprotectant can also be added to protect the labile active ingredient (e.g., a protein) against destabilizing conditions during the freeze-drying process. Examples of known lyoprotectants include sugars (such as glucose and sucrose); polyols (such as mannitol, sorbitol, and glycerol); and amino acids (such as alanine, glycine, and glutamic acid). Lyoprotectants can be included in concentrations ranging from approximately 10 nM to 500 nM.

An antibody of the present product may be used in an aerosol formulation for administration by inhalation. The antibody of the present product may be formulated in acceptable pressurized propellants, such as dichlorodifluoromethane, propane, nitrogen, and the like. Aerosol formulations, such as nasal spray formulations, include purified aqueous or other solutions of the active agent with preservatives and isotonic agents. Such formulations are adjusted to a pH and isotonic state compatible with the nasal mucous membranes. Unit-dose forms for oral administration, such as syrups, elixirs, and suspensions, may be provided so that each unit dose, for example, a teaspoonful, tablespoonful, or tablet, contains a predetermined amount of the composition. Similarly, unit-dose forms for injection or intravenous administration may comprise an antibody present in a composition such as a solution in sterile water, normal saline, or another pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The term unit dosage form, as used herein, refers to physically differentiated units suitable as unit dosages for human and animal subjects, wherein each unit contains a predetermined quantity of a humanized anti-Cls antibody of the hereof calculated as a quantity sufficient to produce the desired effect in association with a pharmaceutical diluent, carrier, or vehicle UO3 acceptable. The specifications for an antibody herein may depend on the particular antibody employed and the effect intended to be achieved, and the pharmacodynamics associated with each antibody in the host. Other modes of administration may also be used with a method described herein. For example, an antibody described herein may be formulated as suppositories and, in some cases, as aerosol and intranasal compositions. For suppositories, the vehicle composition will include traditional binders and carriers such as polyalkylene glycols or triglycerides. Such suppositories may be formed from mixtures containing the active ingredient in the range of approximately 0.5% to approximately 10% (w / w), for example, approximately 1% to approximately 2%. Intranasal formulations generally include vehicles that neither irritate the nasal mucosa nor significantly impair ciliary function. Diluents such as water, aqueous saline, or other known substances may be used. Nasal formulations may also contain preservatives such as, but not limited to, chlorobutanol and benzalkonium chloride. A surfactant may be present to enhance the absorption of the antibody by the nasal mucosa. An antibody of this type can be administered as an injectable formulation. Typically, injectable compositions are prepared as liquid solutions or suspensions; solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in liquid vehicles prior to injection can also be prepared. The preparation can also be emulsified, or the antibody can be encapsulated in liposomal vehicles. Suitable excipient vehicles include, for example, water, saline solution, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, or similar substances, and combinations thereof. In addition, if desired, the vehicle may contain minor amounts of excipients such as wetting or emulsifying agents, or pH buffers. The actual methods for preparing the dosage forms are known to, or will be obvious to, those skilled in the art. See, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pennsylvania, 17th edition, 1985. The composition or formulation to be administered shall, in any case, contain an amount of an antibody suitable to achieve the desired state in the subject under treatment. Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, such as vehicles, adjuvants, carriers, or diluents, are readily available to the public. In addition, pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances, such as buffering or pH-adjusting agents, stabilizers, and similar wetting agents, are available. ML / a / ZUZZ / UU I UO3 are readily available to the public. In some embodiments, a humanized anti-Cls antibody of the present description is formulated in a controlled-release formulation. Sustained-release preparations can be prepared using methods known in the art. Suitable examples of sustained-release preparations include semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the antibody, wherein the matrices are in the form of molded elements, for example, films or microcapsules. Examples of sustained-release matrices include polyesters, L-glutamic acid-ethyl-L-glutamate copolymers, non-degradable ethylene vinyl acetate, hydrogels, polylactides, lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers, and poly-D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid.The potential loss of biological activity and possible changes in immunogenicity of antibodies contained in sustained-release preparations can be prevented by the use of appropriate additives, control of moisture content, and the development of specific polymer matrix compositions. Controlled release within the scope of this description may be interpreted to mean any number of extended-release dosage forms. The following terms may be considered substantially equivalent to controlled release for the purposes of this description: continuous release, controlled release, delayed release, depot, extended release, gradual release, immediate release, long-term release, scheduled release, prolonged release, proportionate release, elongated release, repository, delay, slow release, spaced release, sustained release, planned coating, gradual release, delayed action, extended action, time-stratified action, extended duration, prolonged action, repeated action, slowing effect, sustained action, and sustained-action drugs.Further discussions of these terms can be found in Lesczek Krowczynski, Extended-Release Dosage Forms, 1987 (CRC Press, Inc.). The various controlled-release technologies cover a very broad spectrum of drug dosage forms. Controlled-release technologies include, but are not limited to, physical and chemical systems. Physical systems include, but are not limited to, reservoir systems with rate-controlling membranes, such as microencapsulation, macroencapsulation, and membrane systems; reservoir systems without rate-controlling membranes, such as hollow fibers, ultra-microporous cellulose triacetate, and porous polymeric foams and substrates; monolithic systems, which include those systems physically dissolved in non-porous, polymeric, or elastomeric matrices (e.g., non-erodible, erodible, environmental ingress, and degradable), and materials physically dispersed in non-porous, polymeric, or elastomeric matrices (e.g., non-erodible, erodible, environmental ingress, and degradable); laminated structures, which include reservoir layers chemically similar to or different from the external control layers; and other physical methods, such as osmotic pumps, or adsorption onto ion-exchange resins. Chemical systems include, but are not limited to, chemical erosion of polymer matrices (e.g., heterogeneous or homogeneous erosion) or biological erosion of a polymer matrix (e.g., heterogeneous or homogeneous). A further analysis of system categories for controlled release can be found in Agis F. Kydonieus, Controlled Release Technologies: Methods, Theory and Applications, 1980 (CRC Press, Inc.). A number of controlled-release drug formulations are being developed for oral administration. These include, but are not limited to, osmotic pressure-controlled gastrointestinal delivery systems; hydrodynamic pressure-controlled gastrointestinal delivery systems; Gastrointestinal delivery systems include membrane-permeable controlled-release devices, such as microporous membrane-permeable controlled-release devices; gastric fluid-resistant controlled-release devices; gel-diffusion controlled-release systems; and ion-exchange controlled-release systems, including cationic and anionic drugs. Additional information regarding controlled-release drug delivery systems can be found in Yie W. Chien, *Novel Drug Delivery Systems*, 1992 (Marcel Dekker, Inc.). Dosages An attending physician or other qualified medical personnel can determine an appropriate dosage based on several clinical factors. As is known in medical practice, dosages for any patient depend on many factors, including the patient's size, body surface area, age, the specific compound being administered, the patient's sex, the timing and route of administration, general health, and other drugs being administered concurrently. An antibody of the type present can be administered in amounts between 1 ng / kg of body weight and 20 mg / kg of body weight per dose, for example, between 0.1 mg / kg of body weight and 10 mg / kg of body weight, or between 0.5 mg / kg of body weight and 5 mg / kg of body weight; however, doses below or above this example range are anticipated, especially when considering the factors mentioned above.If the regimen is a continuous infusion, it may also be in the range of 1 pg to 10 mg per kilogram of body weight per minute. In some formulations, a dose of a humanized anti-Cls antibody of the present description is in the range of 0.001 pg to 1000 pg; however, dosages below or above this example range are anticipated, especially considering the factors mentioned above. In some formulations, the dosage may vary, for example, from approximately 0.0001 to 100 mg / kg, or from approximately 0.01 to 5 mg / kg (e.g., 0.02 mg / kg, 0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg, 0.75 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg, 2 mg / kg, etc.) of body weight. For example, dosages may be 1 mg / kg of body weight or 10 mg / kg of body weight, or within the range of 1–10 mg / kg, or at least 1 mg / kg. It is intended that the doses within the aforementioned ranges are also within the range of the invention. In some formulations, a humanized anti-Cls antibody of the present description is administered in an amount that provides a peak serum concentration of from about 1 pg / ml to about 1 mg / ml, for example, from about 1 pg / ml to about 2.5 pg / ml, from about 2.5 pg / ml to about 5 pg / ml, from about 5 pg / ml to about 7.5 pg / ml, from about 7.5 pg / ml to about 10 pg / ml, from about 10 pg / ml to about 25 pg / ml, from about 25 pg / ml to about 50 pg / ml, from about 50 pg / ml to about 100 pg / ml, from about 100 pg / ml to about 250 pg / ml, from about 250 pg / ml to about 500 pg / ml, from around 500 pg / ml to around 750 pg / ml, or from around 750 pg / ml to around 1000 pg / ml.In some modalities, a subject anti-Cls antibody is administered in an amount that provides a peak serum concentration greater than 1 mg / ml, for example, from about 1 mg / ml to about 2 mg / ml, from about 2 mg / ml to about 5 mg / ml, or from about 5 mg / ml to about 10 mg / ml. A humanized antibody of the present description can be administered according to any schedule and for any period of time. Experts will quickly observe that dosage levels and administration schedules can vary depending on the specific antibody, the severity of symptoms, and the subject's susceptibility to side effects. Those skilled in the technique can determine preferred dosages and administration schedules for a given compound using a variety of methods.

Additionally, to compare the bioavailability of humanized TNT005 via various routes of administration, the humanized variant was administered by intravascular (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) injection. Following dosing of humanized TNT005, plasma and serum samples were collected at designated time points to determine circulating concentrations (PK) of humanized TNT005 and to assess the inhibition of the classical complement pathway (PD) by humanized TNT005. All study animals were female, weighed between 2.4 and 3.9 kg, and were between 3 and 5 years old. Additionally, all animals had not received any prior treatment before receiving the pharmaceutical dosage. The study consisted of two parts: 1) Phase 1 - a unit-dose study comparing the PK / PD of humanized TNT005 in vehicle control (no drug administered), low-dose and high-dose groups by intravenous (IV) administration and a coincidentally high-dose humanized TNT005 group administered subcutaneously (SC); and 126 2) Phase 2 - a low-dose multiple-dose SC group (daily for 7 days). The Phase 1 study design consisted of four animal groups, three of which were dosed with humanized TNT005 (n=4 animals / dose cohort), and the fourth with vehicle control (phosphate-buffered saline; n=3 animals). Animals dosed intravenously (IV) received a bolus injection into a peripheral vein, while the subcutaneous (SC) injection was administered in the interscapular region of the back. Group 1 was designated the control group and received the IV vehicle. Groups 2 and 3 received a single IV dose of humanized TNT005 at 10 mg / kg and 45 mg / kg, respectively. Finally, group 4 received a single SC dose at 45 mg / kg to directly compare SC bioavailability with the corresponding IV group (group 3). Table 6 summarizes the Phase 1 study design.

Briefly, the diluted plasma samples were added to a 96-well plate pre-coated with activated Cls. After incubation and subsequent washing of the plasma sample, a human IgG-specific horseradish peroxidase-conjugated detection antibody was added to detect humanized TNT005 bound to Cls. Finally, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylibencidin (TMB) substrate was added to initiate a colorimetric reaction, which was read using a spectrophotometer. By interpolating from a humanized TNT005 standard curve in parallel with the plasma samples, the plasma concentrations of humanized TNT005 were determined for all samples.The results of the Phase 1 pharmacokinetic analyses of the study are shown in FIGURE 14 (Day 1-43) and FIGURE 15 (Day 32-43). Following IV administration, the plasma PK profiles of humanized TNT005 exhibited a typically elevated Cmax followed by dose-dependent clearance. SC administration resulted in an absorption phase, which resulted in a 131 Overall lower Cmax was delayed compared to the matched IV dose cohort. The clearance rate of humanized TNT005 in the 45 mg / kg IV and SC dose groups was compared from 72 hours to the end of the study. Figure 14 describes the pharmacokinetic profile of humanized TNT005 in cynomolgus monkeys dosed during Phase 1 (Day 1–Day 43). The dosage groups received either the vehicle; 10 mg / kg (MPK) of humanized TNT005 IV; 45 MPK of humanized TNT005 IV; or 45 MPK of humanized TNT005 SC. The mean plasma concentrations of humanized TNT005 for each dosage group (n = 4 animals / cohort of humanized TNT005) are plotted as a function of time post-dose. Figure 15 describes pharmacokinetic profiles of humanized TNT005 in cynomolgus monkeys dosed in Phase 1 (Day 32-Day 43). The dose groups were as in Figure 14. The average plasma concentrations of humanized TNT005 for each dose group (n = 4 animals / cohort of humanized TNT005) are plotted as a function of time post-dose. The pharmacodynamic effects of humanized TNT005 were evaluated using the Wieslab® Classic Complement Pathway Kit. The Wieslab® Kit is commercially available and involves the use of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed to evaluate the IVIA / a / ZUZZ / UU I UO3 132 The strength of classical complement pathway activity in serum samples was assessed by activating the classical pathway ex vivo and measuring the ex vivo generation of the pathway's end-cleavage product, C5b-9. Samples were evaluated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, serum samples from monkeys, collected at the times shown in Table 7, were diluted and added to the wells of the provided 96-well plate. After incubation, a detection antibody specific for the classical pathway's end-cleavage product, C5b-9, was added, and the colorimetric reaction was measured using a spectrophotometer. All samples for an individual monkey were compared and normalized to the pre-dose sample from the same monkey (pre-dose = 100% activity). The results for the pharmacodynamic readout in the Phase 1 groups are shown in Figure 16.Intravenous administration of humanized TNT005 resulted in near-complete to complete inhibition of the classical pathway in both dose groups immediately after dosing. Recovery of classical pathway activity was gradual and dose-dependent, with animals in the 45 mg / kg dose cohorts recovering more slowly than those in the 10 mg / kg cohort. The IV and subcutaneous groups dosed at 45 mg / kg showed very similar recovery times for pathway activity, consistent with the profiles. 133 pharmacokinetics of humanized TNT005 similar for those groups (FIGURE 14). Figure 16 describes the classical pathway activity (PD reading) of serum samples from cynomolgus monkeys dosed in Phase 1 (Day 1–Day 43). The dose groups received the vehicle; 10 mg / kg (MPK) of humanized TNT005 IV; 45 MPK of humanized TNT005 IV; or 45 MPK of TNT005 humanized SC. The activity of the classical pathway for each dose group (normalized to pre-dose activity; n = 4 animals / group TNT005 humanized) is plotted as a function of time after the dose. Phase 2 Pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of humanized TNT005 in Phase 2 were evaluated in the same manner as described in Phase 1. The results of the Phase 2 pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses are shown in Figure 17. Subcutaneous administration of low-dose humanized TNT005 (4 mg / kg) resulted in a slow absorption phase within the first 24 hours of dosing (Figure 17, red graph, right y-axis). Along with the increase in plasma concentrations of humanized TNT005, the activity of the classical serum pathway decreased (Figure 17, blue graph, left y-axis). Repeated daily dosing at 4 mg / kg resulted in a gradual increase in plasma humanized TNT005 and reduced activity of the classical serum pathway. 134 Additionally, serum classical pathway activity was reduced to 10% of pre-dose levels by day 7 (i.e., -90% classical pathway inhibition). Figure 17 describes a PK / PD profile of humanized TNT005 in cynomolgous monkeys dosed in Phase 2 (SC administration of 4 mg / kg daily for 7 days). Average plasma concentrations of humanized TNT005 (right y-axis) and average serum classical pathway activity (left y-axis) were plotted against time for Phase 2 (n=4 animals).
