Abstract
An anti-IL-23 specific human Ig derived protein, isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one anti-IL-23 Ig derived protein, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof are useful as therapeutic and diagnostic compositions, methods and devices. The anti-IL-23 Ig derived protein preferably binds to one or more of the Seg 1, Seg 2, and Seg 3 epitopes of the p40 subunit of IL-23.
