Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention relates to p75 heterodimer specific anti-human IL-12 antibodies that are characterized by a higher potency and greater efficacy in neutralizing human IL-12 bioactivity than known heterodimer specific IL-12 monoclonal antibodies. The heterodimer specific antibodies recognize one or more epitopes of the human IL-12 p75 heterodimer but do not bind to the p40 , subunit alone. The heterodimer specific IL-12 antibodies neutralize rhesus monkey IL-12 bioactivity with a potency similar to their potency for neutralizing human IL-12 bioactivity making them useful IL-12 antagonists.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 15, 1999 and granted July 3, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 15, 2019.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 15, 2021.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
