An isolated anti-IL-12 antibody, comprising a heavy chain complementarity determining region 1 (CDR1) comprising an amino acid sequence with not more than one conservative substitution from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, a heavy chain complementarity determining region 2 (CDR2) comprising an amino acid sequence with not more than one conservative substitution from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, a heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) comprising an amino acid sequence with not more than one conservative substitution from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, a light chain complementarity determining region 1 (CDR1) comprising an amino acid sequence with not more than one conservative substitution from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, a light chain complementarity determining region 2 (CDR2) comprising an amino acid sequence with not more than one conservative substitution from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, and a light chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) comprising an amino acid sequence with not more than one conservative substitution from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:6, wherein the antibody is a variant of the antibody comprising an heavy chain CDR1 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, the heavy chain CDR2 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, the heavy chain CDR3 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, the light chain CDR1 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, the light chain CDR2 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, and the light chain CDR3 amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:6.
Claim: 2. The isolated anti-IL-12 antibody according to claim 1 , comprising a heavy chain CDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, a heavy chain CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, a heavy chain CDR3 comprising an amino acid sequence with not more than one conservative substitution from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, a light chain CDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, a light chain CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, and a light chain CDR3 comprising an amino acid sequence with not more than one conservative substitution from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:6.
Claim: 3. The isolated anti-IL-12 antibody according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody is human.
Claim: 4. A composition comprising the isolated anti-IL-12 antibody according to claim 1 , and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
Claim: 5. The composition according to claim 4 , further comprising at least one composition comprising an effective amount of at least one compound or protein selected from at least one of a detectable label or reporter, a TNF antagonist, an antirheumatic, a muscle relaxant, a narcotic, a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), an analgesic, an anesthetic, a sedative, a local anesthetic, a neuromuscular blocker, an antimicrobial, an antipsoriatic, a corticosteriod, an anabolic steroid, an erythropoietin, an immunoglobulin, an immunosuppressive, a growth hormone, a hormone replacement drug, a radiopharmaceutical, an antidepressant, an antipsychotic, an asthma medication, a beta agonist, an inhaled steroid, an epinephrine or analog, a cytokine, and a cytokine antagonist.
Claim: 6. An anti-idiotype antibody or fragment that specifically binds the isolated antibody according to claim 1 .
