Embodiment 1

[0220] This example is a collection for illustrating the methods of the present invention.

[0221] a. Sorting lambda-negative plasmablasts from donor blood

[0222] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from blood drawn from donors using Lymphoprep (Axis Shield) and gradient centrifugation according to the manufacturer's instructions. Isolated PBMC were either refrigerated at -150°C in FCS, 10% DMSO or used directly. The B cell fraction was labeled with an anti-CD19 antibody and isolated from the PBMC fraction using magnetic cell sorting (MACS). PBMC (1x10 6 cells) were incubated with anti-CD19-FITC-conjugated antibody (BD Pharmingen) at 4°C for 20 minutes. Cells were washed twice and resuspended in MACS buffer (Miltenyi Biotec). Anti-FITC microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) were mixed with labeled cells and incubated at 4°C for 15 minutes. The washing procedure was repeated before applying the cell-bead suspension to a LS MACS column (Miltenyi Biotec). The ...

Embodiment 2

[0349] In this example, exemplifying the detection of a cognate V protein containing a full-length antibody expressed as having anti-RSV specificity. H and V L Isolation, screening, selection and banking of the right clones.

[0350] donor

[0351] A total of 89 donors were recruited from employees and parents of children who had been admitted to the pediatric department of Hvidovre Hospital (Denmark) during the RSV season. An initial blood sample of 18ml was drawn, for CD19 + B cells were purified (Example 1, part a), screened for the presence of anti-RSV antibodies using ELISpot (Example 1, part b), and the frequency of plasma cells was determined by FACS analysis.

[0352] Eleven donors were found to be positive in the initial blood sample screening, from 10 of which a second blood sample of 450ml was collected. Plasmablasts were subjected to single cell sorting according to part a of Example 1. ELISpot was performed on the fraction of CD19 positive B cells.

[0353] ...

Embodiment 3

[1573] In vitro neutralization experiments have been performed with single antibody clones and with combinations of purified antibodies. All antibody mixtures described below consist of a number of individual anti-RSV antibodies of the invention, which were combined into mixtures using equal amounts of different antibodies.

[1574] Single Antibody Test

[1575] First, the neutralizing activity of each antibody was determined in PRNT in the presence of complement against RSV subtype A and B strains, as described above in Example 1, section j-2. The EC of a number of purified antibodies are shown in Table 8 50 value. Interestingly, although most anti-F antibodies individually exhibited virus neutralizing activity, EC could not be determined for most anti-RSV protein G antibodies. 50 value. This could be interpreted as indicating that these antibodies cannot neutralize the virus individually. However, subsequent refinement of the assay also yielded EC for G-responsive clone...

Abstract

Disclosed are novel polyclonal antibodies, which target respiratory syncyticilal virus (RSV), as well as novel high affinity antibody molecules reactive with RSV. The polyclonal antibodies may comprise antibody molecules which are reactive with both RSV protein F and RSV protein G, and preferably the polyclonal antibodies target a variety of epitopes on these proteins. The antibody molecules of the invention have shown superior efficacy in vitro and / or in vivo. Also disclosed are methods of producing the antibodies of the invention as well as methods of their use in treatment or prevention ofRSV infection.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to specific recombinant monoclonal and polyclonal antibody compositions for preventing, treating or ameliorating one or more symptoms associated with respiratory syncytial virus infection. The invention also relates to polyclonal expression cell lines that produce anti-RSV recombinant polyclonal antibodies (anti-RSV rpAbs). Further, the present application describes diagnostic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising anti-RSV rpAbs, and their use in preventing, treating or ameliorating one or more symptoms associated with RSV infection. Background of the invention [0002] Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants and young children. Children and premature infants with underlying health problems, such as chronic lung disease or congenital heart disease, are at greatest risk of severe disease, such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia, after infection with RSV. More re...
