Abstract
Anti-TACE (ADAM17) antibodies are disclosed that for the first time in the art are capable of binding to TACE, of acting as antagonists of one or more its biological activities, in particular by binding to TACE in a cross domain binding mode in which residues in both the catalytic domain and in the cysteine rich/disintegrin domains (Dis-Cys) are involved in antibody binding to TACE, helping to improve the specificity of the antibody binding and/or helping to improve inhibition of TACE biological activity. The therapeutic uses of the antibodies, in particular for the treatment of cancer are disclosed.
