The patent US12043663B2 describes a novel antibody or functional fragment that specifically binds to human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa). The claims detail various structural configurations of the antibody, including specific amino acid sequences for the variable light (VL) and variable heavy (VH) domains, which are critical for its binding affinity. The patent outlines multiple embodiments of the antibody, including single-chain variable fragments (scFv) and immunoglobulin G (IgG), with binding affinities characterized by dissociation constants (KD) of less than 125 pM for human TNFa and less than 1 nM for TNFa from Macaca fascicularis. Additionally, the antibody demonstrates enhanced potency in inhibiting TNFa-induced apoptosis compared to existing treatments like infliximab.

Furthermore, the patent encompasses methods for producing the antibody, including culturing cells that express the nucleic acid encoding the antibody and recovering the functional product. It also includes claims for pharmaceutical compositions containing the antibody, which can be used to treat inflammatory disorders, particularly those related to TNFa, such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. The claims emphasize the potential therapeutic applications of the antibody in managing conditions characterized by excessive TNFa activity, highlighting its relevance in the field of immunology and therapeutic development.
