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). Additionally, the antibody demonstrates a high binding affinity to human TNFa, with a dissociation constant (KD) of less than 125 pM, and shows cross-reactivity with TNFa from Macaca fascicularis. The antibody's efficacy is further highlighted by its ability to inhibit TNFa-induced apoptosis more effectively than infliximab in specific assays.

Moreover, the patent encompasses methods for producing the antibody, including the use of nucleic acids encoding the antibody, vectors, and cultured cells for expression. It also claims a pharmaceutical composition that includes the antibody or its functional fragments, which can be combined with acceptable carriers or excipients. The therapeutic applications of this composition are aimed at treating inflammatory disorders, particularly those related to TNFa, such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. The claims emphasize the potential of this antibody in addressing various inflammatory conditions, providing a foundation for further research and development in therapeutic interventions targeting TNFa-related disorders.
