Antibodies, particularly humanized and variant antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to TGF-β1 are provided, recognizing human and mouse TGF-β1, particularly that preferentially bind TGF-β1, including which do not recognize or bind TGF-β2 or TGF-β3. Humanized and variant antibodies provided are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with activated or elevated TGF-β1, including
cancer, and for modulating immune cells and immune response, including immune response to
cancer or
cancer antigens, and in fibrotic conditions. The anti-TGF-β1 antibodies, variable regions or CDR domain sequences thereof, and fragments thereof may also be used in lymphoid
cell-mediated, including
T cell-mediated, therapy and / or combination with chemotherapeutics,
immune modulators, or anti-cancer agents and / or with other antibodies or fragments thereof. Particular antibodies are exemplified herein, including antibodies 13A1-2A, 13A1-2B, 13A1-2C, 13A1-2D, 13A1-2E, 13A1-2F, 13A1-2G, 13A1-2H, 13A1-2I, 13A1-2J, 13A1-AF, 13A1-AG, 13A1-AH, 13A1-BF, 13A1-BG, 13A1-BH, 13A1-CF, 13A1-CG, 13A1-CH, 13A1-DF, 13A1-DG, 13A1-DH, 13A1-EF, 13A1-EG and 13A1-EH.
