Anti-ngf compositions and use thereof
Abstract
The present invention is directed to antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for NGF. Another embodiment of this invention relates to the antibodies described herein, and binding fragments thereof, comprising the sequences of the V H , V L and CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them. The invention also contemplates conjugates of anti-NGF antibodies and binding fragments thereof conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. The invention also contemplates methods of making said anti-NGF antibodies and binding fragments thereof. Embodiments of the invention also pertain to the use of anti-NGF antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, for the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with NGF.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An anti-human NGF antibody or antibody fragment which comprises the same CDR polypeptides as an anti-human NGF antibody selected from Ab1, Ab2, Ab3, Ab4, Ab5, Ab6, Ab7, Ab8, Ab9, Ab10, Ab11, Ab12, Ab13, Ab14, Ab15, Ab16, Ab17, Ab18, Ab19, Ab20, and Ab21.
2 - 5 . (canceled)

24 - 26 . (canceled)
27 . A recombinant cell which expresses an antibody or antibody fragment according to claim 1 .
28 - 31 . (canceled)
32 . A method of treatment comprising administering to a patient with a disease or condition associated with NGF expressing cells a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-human NGF antibody or fragment according to claim 1 .
