Application Number:10/180,648
Patent Claims:1. An isolated antibody comprising: a) a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; and b) a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4.

2. An isolated antibody consisting of: a) a heavy chain consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; and b) a light chain consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4.

3. An isolated antibody comprising: a) a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13; and b) a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14.

4. The antibody of claim 3, wherein the heavy chain and the light chain are connected by a flexible linker to form a single-chain antibody.

5. The antibody of claim 4, which is a single-chain Fv antibody.

6. The antibody of claim 3, which is a Fab antibody.

7. The antibody of claim 3, which is a Fab' antibody.

8. The antibody of claim 3, which is a F(ab').sub.2 antibody.

9. The antibody of claim 3, which is fully human.

10. The antibody of claim 3, wherein the antibody inhibits binding of a human osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL) to an osteoclast differentiation and activation receptor (ODAR).

11. An isolated antibody comprising: a) a heavy chain comprising CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of SEQ ID NO: 13; and b) a light chain comprising CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of SEQ ID NO: 14.

12. The antibody of claim 11, wherein the heavy chain and the light chain are connected by a flexible linker to form a single-chain antibody.

13. The antibody of claim 12, which is a single-chain Fv antibody.

14. The antibody of claim 11, which is a Fab antibody.

15. The antibody of claim 11, which is a Fab' antibody.

16. The antibody of claim 11, which is a F(ab').sub.2 antibody.

17. The antibody of claim 11, which is fully human.

18. The antibody of claim 11, wherein the antibody inhibits binding of a human osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL) to an osteoclast differentiation and activation receptor (ODAR).

19. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of any one of claims 1, 2, 3, and 11.

20. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 19, wherein the composition comprises an acetate buffer.

21. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 19, wherein the composition comprises polysorbate.

22. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 19, wherein the composition comprises sorbitol.

23. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 19, wherein the composition comprises acetate and sorbitol.

24. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 19, wherein the composition is contained in a prefilled syringe.

25. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 19, wherein the composition is in unit dose form.
