Abstract
The description concerns humanized antibodies directed against the extracellular domain of the alpha chain of the receptor for interleukin-7 (IL-7), especially against the receptor for human IL-7 expressed on human cells (also designated human IL-7Ralpha or IL-7Ra or CD127) and which do not interfere with the IL-7 or TSLP signaling pathways. The antibodies described do not have an antagonistic effect on the IL-7 receptor, but may still present cytotoxic activity against CD127 positive cells. In a particular embodiment, the antibody does not have an agonist effect on the IL-7 receptor.
