The present invention relates to humanized monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to human CD40 receptor and induce CD40 signaling independent of Fey mediated CD40 receptor crosslinking. The antibodies of the present invention bind to a CD40 epitope that overlaps with the epitope of the CD40 ligand and can activate human APCs. The present invention also provides for compositions comprising said antibodies and uses for the antibodies and compositions in the treatment of patients suffering from cancer.

Agonistic CD40 antibodies

The present invention relates to methods for treating medical conditions and/or disorders characterized by uncontrolled or abnormal expression of members of the IL1R3 signaling pathway such as IL-1&#x3b1;, IL-I&#x3b2;, IL-33, IL-36, IL1RA and/or IL1R3, as well as variants thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to anti-IL1R3 antibodies for use in the treatment of an IL1R3-mediated inflammatory condition and/or disorder in a subject. Such conditions and disorders include but are not limited to inflammatory diseases, immune disorders, fibrotic disorders, eosinophilic disorders, infection, pain, a central nervous system disorder, an ophthalmologic disorder, Hereditary Systemic Inflammatory Diseases, and Systemic and Local Inflammatory Diseases and cancer associated chronic inflammation.

Anti-IL-1R3 antibodies for use in inflammatory conditions

The present invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to human IL-1 R7, or a fragment or derivative thereof or a polypeptide that contain at least a portion of said antibody that is sufficient to confer specific IL-1 R7 binding to the polypeptide. The invention also relates to the use of said antibodies in the treatment of a IL-18 mediated disease and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody according to the invention.
