Antibodies recognizing the n-terminal part of tissue factor pathway inhibitor capable of eliciting pro-coagulant activity

The present invention relates to an antibody that specifically binds to an epitope in the N-terminal part (residues 1 to 79) of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). An antibody according to the invention may be capable of neutralising TFPI inhibition of the TF/FVIIa complex, even in the presence...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an antibody that specifically binds to an epitope in the N-terminal part (residues 1 to 79) of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). An antibody according to the invention may be capable of neutralising TFPI inhibition of the TF/FVIIa complex, even in the presence of elevated levels of TFPI. Such antibodies may find utility in the treatment of subjects with a coagulopathy, such as those with haemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors.
