The patent US12006365B2 describes a novel composition that includes an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment specifically targeting semaphorin-4D (SEMA4D). The composition is characterized by a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL), with specific amino acid sequences outlined in the claims. The VH and VL are designed to exhibit a high degree of sequence identity to designated sequences, ensuring specificity and efficacy in binding to SEMA4D. Additionally, the claims encompass various configurations of the antibody, including the incorporation of human or non-human framework regions and constant regions, which can enhance the therapeutic potential of the antibody.

The patent also outlines methods for utilizing this composition in clinical applications, particularly for neutralizing SEMA4D in human subjects. These methods include treating various conditions such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory disorders. The claims specify that the composition can be used alone or in combination with other therapies, such as anti-cancer treatments or immunosuppressive agents, to improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, the composition is versatile, allowing for different forms such as Fab fragments and multispecific antibodies, which may enhance its therapeutic effectiveness in targeting SEMA4D and its associated pathways.
