A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11872271B2) discloses a monoclonal antibody against Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and its antigen-binding fragment. The antibody is designed with specific amino acid sequences in its complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) to bind to VEGF and inhibit its interaction with VEGF receptors, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2. The antibody can be a chimeric, humanized, or caninized antibody, with heavy and light chain constant regions derived from human or canine IgG1 and IgGB, respectively.

Moreover, the patent covers the use of this monoclonal antibody in treating VEGF-mediated cancers and eye diseases. By administering the antibody to patients in need, the method aims to inhibit pathological angiogenesis and vascular hyperpermeability associated with conditions like colorectal cancer, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. The antibody's efficacy is measured by its ability to bind to VEGF with a dissociation constant of 1×10-11 mol/L or less, highlighting its specificity and potential therapeutic value in various solid cancers and eye diseases. The patent also includes the production of the antibody through a hybridoma, pharmaceutical compositions containing the antibody, and kits for its use in research and clinical settings.
