Various human monoclonal antibodies that bind to human TGF-.beta. type II
receptor to inhibit the signal transduction of human TGF-.beta. signal
into cells are produced by immunizing human antibody-producing transgenic
mice generated by genetic engineering techniques with the soluble human
TGF-.beta. type II receptor. Further, these human monoclonal antibodies
were demonstrated to be effective for preventing and treating various
diseases induced by human TGF-.beta. in various organs (for example,
tissue fibrosis).
