Abstract
The present invention relates to humanized antibodies that specifically bind an EC1 domain of a mammalian Cadherin-11 protein and compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) comprising such antibodies. The invention also relates to methods for treating Cadherin-11-mediated disorders in a mammalian subject by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a humanized antibody of the invention. Cadherin-11-mediated disorders suitable for treatment by the methods of the invention include inflammatory disorders (e.g., inflammatory joint disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis), fibrosis and cancer.
