Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to Anthrax protective
antigen are disclosed. The human antibodies can be produced in a
non-human transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, capable of
producing multiple isotypes of human monoclonal antibodies by undergoing
V-D-J recombination and isotype switching. Also disclosed are derivatives
of the human antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies and
immunoconjugates), pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human
antibodies, non-human transgenic animals and hybridomas which produce the
human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the
human antibodies.
