"Primatization" of recombinant antibodies for immunotherapy of human diseases: a macaque/human chimeric antibody against human CD4
Abstract
Immunoglobulin variable region genes from non-human primates, cynomolgus macaques, were shown to have 85%-98% homology with human immunoglobulin sequences and yet macaques are phylogenetically distant enough to respond against conserved human antigens. Immunoglobulin genes were isolated from monkeys immunized with human CD4 antigen and a human/monkey chimeric anti-CD4 antibody with 91-92% homology to human immunoglobulin framework regions was cloned and expressed. The antibody has an apparent affinity of 3.2 x 10(-11) M and exhibits potent immunosuppressive properties in vitro.
