Monoclonal antibodies that bind, such as specifically bind, blood protein factor XII (FXII) are described. The monoclonal antibodies (including antigen-binding fragments thereof) are capable of forming immune complexes with human FXII and inhibiting FXII activity, resulting in safe anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects.

Therapeutic factor XII antibody

The present invention relates to antibodies capable of binding to the coagulation Factor XI and/or its activated form factor XIa and methods of use thereof, particularly methods of use as agents inhibiting platelet aggregation and by this inhibits thrombus formation.

Antibodies capable of binding to the coagulation factor XIa and uses thereof

The present invention in general relates to novel binding molecules, in particular antibodies and compositions and kits comprising the same. Said binding molecules are capable of binding to human Factor XI and hence envisaged to be particularly useful in inhibiting thrombosis without compromising hemostasis. The binding molecules, compositions and kits provided herein are therefore inter alia intended for treatment of thrombosis-related diseases and conditions. Moreover, polynucleotides encoding the binding molecules of the invention, vectors comprising said polynucleotides and host cells for producing the polynucleotides are provided herein.

Antibodies against factor XI and uses thereof

Compositions and methods for inhibiting thrombosis without compromising hemostasis are described. Compositions include anti-factor XI monoclonal antibodies (aXIMabs) capable of binding to an epitope on the heavy chain of human FXI, particularly the A3 domain of the heavy chain of human FXI. Compositions also include epitope-binding fragments, variants, and derivatives of the monoclonal antibodies, cell lines producing these antibody compositions, and isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding the amino acid sequences of the antibodies. The disclosure further includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising the disclosed anti-factor XI monoclonal antibodies, or epitope-binding fragments, variants, or derivatives thereof, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods of the disclosure include administering the compositions described above to a subject in need thereof for the purpose of inhibiting thrombosis, reducing a required dose of an antithrombotic agent in the treatment of thrombosis, treating metastatic cancer, or treating an acute inflammatory reaction.

Anti-factor XI monoclonal antibodies and methods of use thereof

Methods of treating neuroinflammation by administration of a selective protein C activator, such as recombinant human WE thrombin and optionally one or more of its cofactors are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions for use in the treatment of mammals that exhibit symptoms of neurological inflammation. The pharmaceutical compositions and pharmacological dose comprise a safe and effective amount of WE thrombin.

Methods and compositions used in treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases

Nucleic acids and host cells expressing antibodies capable of binding to the coagulation factor XIa and uses thereof

Antibodies capable of binding to the coagulation Factor XI and/or its activated form factor Xia and uses thereof

Disclosed herein are monoclonal antibodies specific for factor XI (fXI) that prevent activation of fXI by factor XIIa (fXIIa). The monoclonal antibodies are universal fXI antibodies, capable of binding all mammalian species tested. The anti-fXI monoclonal antibodies prolong clotting time in mammalian plasmas. Moreover, administration of the fXI monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein results in inhibition of thrombosis without altering hemostasis in animal models of thrombosis. Thus, provided herein are monoclonal antibodies specific for fXI that block activation of fXI by fXIIa, compositions and immunoconjugates comprising such antibodies and their methods of use.

Anti-fXI antibodies and methods of use

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting thrombosis without compromising hemostasis. Compositions include anti-factor XI monoclonal antibodies (aXIMabs) capable of binding to an epitope on the heavy chain of human FXI, particularly the A3 domain of the heavy chain of human FXI. Compositions also include epitope-binding fragments, variants, and derivatives of the monoclonal antibodies, cell lines producing these antibody compositions, and isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding the amino acid sequences of the antibodies. The invention further includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising the anti-factor XI monoclonal antibodies of the invention, or epitope-binding fragments, variants, or derivatives thereof, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods of the invention comprise administering the compositions described above to a subject in need thereof for the purpose of inhibiting thrombosis, reducing a required dose of an antithrombotic agent in the treatment of thrombosis, treating metastatic cancer, or treating an acute inflammatory reaction.

Polynucleotides encoding anti-factor XI monoclonal antibodies and methods of use thereof

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting thrombosis without compromising hemostasis. Compositions include anti-factor XI monoclonal antibodies (aXIMabs) capable of binding to an epitope on the heavy chain of human FXI, particularly the A3 domain of the heavy chain of human FXI. Compositions also include epitope-binding fragments, variants, and derivatives of the monoclonal antibodies, cell lines producing these antibody compositions, and isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding the amino acid sequences of the antibodies. The invention further includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising the anti-factor XI monoclonal antibodies of the invention, or epitope-binding fragments, variants, or derivatives thereof, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods of the invention comprise administering the compositions described above to a subject in need thereof for the purpose of inhibiting thrombosis, reducing a required dose of an antithrombotic agent in the treatment of thrombosis, treating metastatic cancer, or treating an acute inflammatory reaction. Methods for making an anti-factor XI monoclonal antibody, or epitope-binding fragments, variants, or derivatives thereof, are also provided.
