ABSTRACT:
Methods for preventing or treating an antibody-mediated disease in patient are presented, the methods comprising administration of a humanized monoclonal antibody or fragment thereof that is capable of binding to a human CD40 antigen located on the surface of a human B cell, wherein the binding of the antibody to the CD40 antigen prevents the growth or differentiation of the B cell. Humanized monoclonal antibodies and fragments useful in these methods are also presented.
