Abstract
The invention provides a LM609 grafted antibody comprising one or more CDRs having at least one amino acid substitution, where the LM609 grafted antibody has &agr;v&bgr;3 binding activity. Nucleic acids encoding LM609 grafted heavy and light chains are additionally provided. Functional fragments of such encoding nucleic acids are similarly provided. The invention also provides a method of inhibiting a function of &agr;v&bgr;3. The method consists of contacting &agr;v&bgr;3 with a LM609 grafted antibody or functional fragments thereof under conditions which allow binding to &agr;v&bgr;3. Finally, the invention provides for a method of treating an &agr;v&bgr;3-mediated disease. The method consists of administering an effective amount a LM609 grafted antibody or functional fragment thereof under conditions which allow binding to &agr;v&bgr;3.
