Human antibodies to the glucagon receptor and methods of use thereof
First Claim
1. An isolated human antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds human glucagon receptor (hGCGR), comprising the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of a heavy chain variable region (HCVR), wherein the HCVR has an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
- 2, 18, 34, 50, 66, 70, 90, 106, 110, 126, 130 and 146; and
the CDRs of a light chain variable region (LCVR), wherein the LCVR has an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs;
10, 26, 42, 58, 68, 78, 98, 108, 118, 128, 138 and 148.

Abstract
The present invention provides antibodies that bind to the human glucagon receptor, designated GCGR and methods of using same. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to human GCGR. The antibodies of the invention are useful for lowering blood glucose levels and blood ketone levels and are also useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders associated with one or more GCGR biological activities, including the treatment of diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis and long-term complications associated with diabetes, or other metabolic disorders characterized in part by elevated blood glucose levels.
