FIELD: biotechnology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of biotechnology. Described is a group of inventions comprising an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment specifically binding to IL-21, a conjugate for inhibiting functional activity of IL-21 containing said antibody, a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing an autoimmune disease or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) associated with IL-21, a method of treating or preventing an autoimmune disease or disorder in a subject, a method of determining expression levels of IL-21 and a method of treating or preventing a graft-versus-host reaction associated with IL-21. In one embodiment, the antibody comprises (a) CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 of the VH region comprising DYWMH (SEQ ID NO: 7), TIDPSDNYTIYSQNFKG (SEQ ID NO: 8) replacing asparagine (N) glutamine (Q) in position 7 and YGFAMDY (SEQ ID NO: 9) respectively; and (b) CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 of VL region comprising RASQDISNFLN (SEQ ID NO: 12), YTSRLHS (SEQ ID NO: 13) and QQGHTLPRT (SEQ ID NO: 14).
EFFECT: invention extends the range of products for binding with IL-21.
