First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of inhibiting activation of complement component C4 in an individual in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the individual a pharmaceutical composition comprising:
- a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient suitable for administration to a human; and
a humanized antibody that binds a complement C1s protein, wherein the antibody specifically binds an epitope within amino acids 272-422 of the complement C1s protein, wherein the humanized antibody competes for binding the epitope with an antibody that comprises light chain CDRs of an antibody light chain variable region comprising amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO;
7 and heavy chain CDRs of an antibody heavy chain variable region comprising amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO;
8, and wherein the humanized antibody inhibits C1s-mediated cleavage of C4 but not of C2.
