The present invention provides CDR-grafted antibodies against human tissue
factor that retain the high binding affinity of rodent monoclonal
antibodies against tissue factor but have reduced immunogenicity. The
present humanized antibodies are potent anticoagulants and are thus
useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of human thrombotic disease. The
invention also provides methods of making the CDR-grafted antibodies and
pharmaceutical compositions for the attenuation or prevention of
coagulation.
