CA 2399148

Antibodies that bind human interleukin-18 (hIL-18) are provided, in particular antibodies that bind epitope(s) of human IL-18. The antibodies can be, for example, entirely human antibodies, recombinant antibodies, or monoclonal antibodies. Preferred antibodies have high affinity for hIL-18 and neutralize hIL-18 activityin vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Method of making and method of using the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hIL-18 and for inhibiting hIL-18 activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hIL-18 activity is detrimental.

La présente invention concerne des anticorps qui lient l'interleukine 18 humaine (hIL-18) et plus particulièrement des anticorps qui lient un ou plusieurs épitopes IL-18 humaine. Ces anticorps peuvent être, par exemple, des anticorps entièrement humains, des anticorps de recombinaison ou des anticorps monoclonaux. Les anticorps préférés présentent une forte affinité pour hIL-18 et neutralisent l'activité hIL-18 <i>in vitro </i> et <i>in vivo</i>. Un anticorps selon l'invention peut être un anticorps entier ou une partie de liaison d'antigène de ce dernier. Des procédés de préparation et d'utilisation des anticorps selon l'invention sont également décrits. Les anticorps ou les parties d'anticorps selon l'invention sont utiles pour détecter hIL-18 et pour inhiber l'activité hIL-18, par exemple, chez une personne souffrant d'un trouble dans lequel l'activité hIL-18 est préjudiciable.
