ANTI-TRKB ANTIBODIES
First Claim
1. An antibody that binds tyrosine receptor kinase B (TrkB), wherein the antibody comprises(a) a heavy chain variable region comprising a human heavy chain V-segment, a heavy chain complementary determining region 3 (CDR3), and a heavy chain framework region 4 (FR4), and(b) a light chain variable region comprising a human light chain V-segment, a light chain CDR3, and a light chain FR4, whereini) the heavy chain CDR3 comprises the amino acid sequence V(T/V)(S/T/R/N)WFAY (SEQ ID NO:
- 34); and
ii) the light chain CDR3 variable region comprises the amino acid sequence (S/M)QGT(H/A)(E/V/I)PYT (SEQ ID NO;
42); and
wherein the antibody is a TrkB agonist.
