CDR-grafted antibody heavy and light chains comprise acceptor framework and donor antigen binding regions, the heavy chains comprising donor residues at at least one of positions (6, 23) and/or (24, 48) and/or (49, 71) and/or (73, 75) and/or (76) and/or (78) and (88) and/or (91). The CDR-grafted light chains comprise donor residues at at least one of positions (1) and/or (3) and (46) and/or (47) or at at least one of positions (46, 48, 58) and (71). The CDR-grafted antibodies are preferably humanized antibodies, having non human, e.g. rodent, donor and human acceptor frameworks, and may be used for in vivo therapy and diagnosis. A generally applicable protocol is disclosed for obtaining CDR-grafted antibodies.

Humanised antibodies

Provided herein is an isolated antibody or antigen-binding fragment that specifically binds tau, the antibody or fragment comprising a heavy chain variable (VH) region and a light chain variable (VL) region having amino acid sequences set forth herein. Also provided are methods of preventing or treating a tauopathy in a subject, comprising administering to a human in need of therapy for a tauopathy with one or more antibodies or fragments as described herein, wherein the antibodies or antigen-binding fragment are administered under conditions and in an amount effective to prevent or treat the tauopathy.

Humanized anti-tau antibodies

There is disclosed antibody molecules containing at least one CDR derived from a mouse monoclonal antibody having specificity for human TNF&#x3b1;. There is also disclosed a CDR grafted antibody wherein at least one of the CDRs is a hybrid CDR. Further disclosed are DNA sequences encoding the chains of the antibody molecules, vectors, transformed host cells and uses of the antibody molecules in the treatment of diseases mediated by TNF&#x3b1;.

Antibody molecules specific to human tumour necrosis factor alpha

Production of humanised antibodies to TNF&#x3b1;

Biological products

The invention provides recombinant antibody molecules comprising antigen binding regions derived from the heavy and/or light chain variable regions of a donor anti-CD3 antibody, e.g. OKT3, and which have anti-CD3 binding specificity, preferably of affinity similar to that of OKT3. The recombinant antibody is preferably a humanized antibody and may be a chimeric or CDR-grafted antibody. A method is disclosed for preparing CDR-grafted humanized antibodies in which, in addition to the CDR's non-human antibody residues are preferably used at positions 23, 24, 49, 71, 73 and 78 of the heavy chain variable region and at positions 46, 48, 58, and 71 of the light chain variable region. The recombinant, especially the humanized, anti-CD3 antibodies may be used for in vivo therapy or diagnosis.
