The present invention provides isolated monoclonal antibodies,
particularly human antibodies, that bind to IP-10 with high affinity,
inhibit the binding of IP-10 to its receptor, inhibit IP-10-induced
calcium flux and inhibit IP-10-induced cell migration. Nucleic acid
molecules encoding the antibodies of the invention, expression vectors,
host cells and methods for expressing the antibodies of the invention are
also provided. Immunoconjugates, bispecific molecules and pharmaceutical
compositions comprising the antibodies of the invention are also
provided. The invention also provides methods for inhibiting IP-10
activity using the antibodies of the invention, including methods for
treating various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
