The present invention relates to antibodies. Specifically, the present
invention relates to antibodies composed of novel combinations of
inter-species antibody domains ("domain-grafted antibodies"). The present
invention further relates to compositions comprising such domain-grafted
antibodies, as well as methods for producing such domain-grafted
antibodies. Finally, the present invention relates to methods of
evaluating the in vivo biological effect of such domain-grafted
antibodies as well as uses of such domain-grafted antibodies for
cross-species evaluation of the in vivo activity antibodies intended for
human therapy.
