Monoclonal antibody with high affinity for vegf
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 patent covers variations of the antibody, including chimeric, humanized, and caninized forms, with constant regions derived from human or canine IgG1 antibodies.
Moreover, the patent includes claims for a hybridoma that produces the monoclonal antibody, a pharmaceutical composition containing the antibody, and a kit for research purposes. The patent also outlines a method for treating VEGF-mediated cancers and eye diseases by administering the antibody to inhibit angiogenesis or vascular hyperpermeability. The cancers mentioned in the patent range from colorectal cancer to melanoma, while the VEGF-mediated eye diseases include conditions like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. The antibody is designed to bind to VEGF with high affinity, with a dissociation constant of 1×10-11 mol/L or less, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic applications in oncology and ophthalmology.
