     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation for a therapeutic antibody. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation for an anti-IL-36R antibody disclosed herein. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The anti-IL-36R antibodies described herein reduce or block IL36 ligand-mediated signaling and are useful in treating diseases or conditions associate with such signaling. There is a need for a stable liquid or lyophilized antibody formulation for the anti-IL-36R antibodies, which is suitable for parenteral administration, including intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injection to a human. 
     Therapeutic antibodies are large and complex molecules and, as such, subject to degradation processes, particularly in the liquid state. While antibody production and purification is a well-controlled process, developing a formulation which is stable and is suitable for delivery to the patient is a challenge. The instabilities of antibodies are a major obstacle for commercial development of antibody drugs. For instance, antibody preparations can have short shelf lives and antibodies may lose biological activity resulting from chemical and physical degradation during the storage. Chemical degradation processes include deamidation, racemization, hydrolysis, oxidation, beta elimination and disulfide exchange. Physical degradation processes include denaturation, aggregation, precipitation and adsorption (Cleland et al., Critical Reviews in Therapeutic Drug Carrier Systems, 1993, 10(4): 307-377). Although antibodies share certain structural similarities, development of commercially viable antibody pharmaceuticals has not been straightforward because of their unique and somewhat unpredictable solution behavior. Due to the significant difference in the primary sequence among different antibodies, the relative severity of the degradation pathways (e.g., denaturation, aggregation, surface adsorption, deamidation, oxidation, isomerization, fragmentation, etc.) can be significantly different. (Wang et al., J Pharm Sci., Antibody Structure, Instability, and Formulation, 2007, 96(1):1-26). 
     A number of formulation references are listed below. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 10,166,993 describes a reduced-viscosity concentrated protein formulation including a protein in an amount of at least about 80 mg/mL, a buffer in an amount of at least about 50 mM, so as to have a pH of about 4.2 to about 4.9 or about 7.1 to about 12.0 and having kinematic viscosity of about 50 cs or less at 25° C., which makes the formulation suitable for subcutaneous administration. 
     WO 2011/109365 describes a formulation comprising a concentrated protein in an amount greater than 100 mg/mL or less than about 200 mg/mL, a tonicifier of a salt and a buffer present in a combined amount of from about 110 mM to about 120 mM and a surfactant, wherein the formulation is hypotonic (having an osmolality of less than 290 milliOsmol (mOsm)). 
     U.S. Pat. No. 9,517,226 describes a formulation for anti-c-Met antibody. It discloses a liquid formulation of an anti-c-Met antibody, which contains a surfactant, a buffer, and a liquid medium, and the buffer includes succinic acid, citric acid or a combination thereof. 
     WO 2016/128564 describes pharmaceutical composition including an antibody, at least one buffer agent selected from the group consisting of acetate and histidine, at least one amino acid selected from the group consisting of glycine, asparagine and glutamine, and/or at least one excipient selected from the group consisting of trehalose, and mannitol, and a surfactant, wherein the pH of the composition is 5.0 to 6.5. 
     Despite the information these or similar references provide, it is conventionally understood that antibodies with different sequences behave unpredictably under a variety of conditions including shaking, long-term storage, exposure to light, freeze-thawing process, lyophilization process, etc. 
     It is unpredictable how one antibody would behave in a formulation that was prepared specifically with or for another antibody or protein. For example, a slight variation in formulation can destabilize a protein and result in aggregation. 
     Protein aggregates generally have reduced activity and more importantly, greater immunogenicity potential because of the multiplicity of epitopes and/or conformational changes. Immunoglobulin aggregates have been shown to cause serious renal failure and anaphylactoid reactions such as headache, fever, and chills (Wang et al., supra). 
     Accordingly, there exists a need for stable formulation of the anti-IL-36R antibodies described herein that exhibit for instance increased stability, low to undetectable levels of physical or chemical degradation, and little to no loss of the biological activity of the antibodies, even during long periods of storage.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Without wishing to be bound by any theory or mechanism, the present invention is in part based on the unexpected discovery that showed that an anti-IL-36R formulation of the present invention with the lowest melting temperature value (Tm) correlated with the most promising properties, i.e., minimized protein-protein interaction, highest degree of diffusivity and increased long-term stability. See the Examples. This is contrary to the conventional notion that an increased Tm correlates with an increased long-term stability of the proteins studied (see, e.g., He et al., J Pharm Sci 2011; 100:1330-40). 
     As discussed earlier, physical and chemical instability of antibodies is a complex function of solution conditions, temperature and their primary structure. Antibodies are for example susceptible to deamidation, isomerization, oxidation, proteolysis, aggregation and other modifications. These phenomena are suspected to result in decreasing efficacy or even potential clinical side-effects or toxicity, since aggregates can reduce the efficacy and enhance the immunogenicity of the protein drug. Antibody aggregation is also a source of batch to batch variability in the antibody production chain and its control leads to regulatory and quality control burden which have extremely costly consequences. Further, aggregation of antibodies affects their stability in storage, including shelf-life and their useable administration time, once removed from optimum storage conditions. 
     An aqueous antibody formulation usually requires at least a buffer to maintain a given pH range, and a tonicifying agent to ensure that the formulation has a similar osmolality as physiological liquids. 
     It is desirable to provide therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of chronic diseases in a form that they can be administered by the patient himself or herself (“home use” or “self-administration” or “self-injection”), because, in many cases, the drug will have to be administered frequently for a long time. The suitability of a formulation for self-administration will thus increase patient compliance and reduce costs, as the patient does not have to see medical personnel each time he or she needs the drug injected. 
     In solutions, which are not stored at optimum conditions, such as at increased temperatures above the recommended range of 2-8° C., unwanted degradation occurs, which includes the formation of insoluble and/or soluble aggregates. Those insoluble and soluble aggregates are likely to be formed in the liquid state by association of the antibody molecules. In cases when a liquid formulation is stored for a long period of time, the bioactivity of the antibody molecules can be reduced due to e.g. aggregation or oxidation. The cycle of freezing and thawing may also lead to the formation of degraded and aggregated antibody molecules. 
     As a result the solutions may exhibit lowered activity, increased toxicity, and/or increased immunogenicity. Indeed, polypeptide precipitation can lead to thrombosis, non-homogeneity of dosage form, and immune reactions. Thus, the safety and efficacy of any pharmaceutical formulation of a polypeptide is directly related to its stability. 
     However, the suitability for self-administration creates new challenges with respect to shelf life. The patient will have to store considerable amounts of drug at home, where storage conditions are often less suitable than in a medical practice. A formulation comprising a therapeutic antibody, which is suitable for self-administration will thus have to exceed existing formulations in terms of storage stability even under suboptimal conditions, e.g. break in the cooling chain or condition under which the formulation or drug product should remain. 
     For home use and/or self-administration, the patient needs to administer the drug subcutaneously or intramuscularly. In order to deliver the required amount, the drug dose for home use often requires a higher protein concentration than needed for intraveneous use due to injection volume limitations. A higher protein concentration, however, increases the viscosity of the solution. As the viscosity increases, the drug delivery by a syringe needle becomes challenging. Additionally, some buffer solutions are known to cause pain when present in products administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. 
     Thus, there is a need for stable, antibody formulations that provide dosing advantages and administrative advantages, particularly with respect to improved stability in storage, including shelf-life and their useable administration. 
     The above-mentioned problems are solved by the embodiments characterized in the claims and described further below. 
     Definitions 
     A phrase such as “an aspect” does not imply that such aspect is essential to the present invention or that such aspect applies to all configurations of the subject technology. A disclosure relating to an aspect may apply to all configurations, or one or more configurations. An aspect may provide one or more examples of the disclosure. A phrase such as “an aspect” may refer to one or more aspects and vice versa. A phrase such as “an embodiment” does not imply that such embodiment is essential to the subject technology or that such embodiment applies to all configurations of the subject technology. A disclosure relating to an embodiment may apply to all embodiments, or one or more embodiments. An embodiment may provide one or more examples of the disclosure. 
     The term “about” shall generally mean an acceptable degree of error or variation for the quantity measured given the nature or precision of the measurements. Typical, exemplary degrees of error or variation are within 5% or within 3% or within 1% of a given value or range of values. For example, the expression of “about 100” includes 105 and 95 or 103 and 97 or 101 and 99, and all values in between (e.g., 95.1, 95.2, etc. for range of 95-105; or 97.1, 97.2, etc. for the range of 97-103; 99.1, 99.2, etc. for the range of 99-101). Numerical quantities given herein are approximates unless stated otherwise, meaning that the term “about” can be inferred when not expressly stated. 
     The general embodiments “comprising” or “comprise” as used herein encompass the more specific embodiment “consisting of”. Furthermore, singular and plural forms are not used in a limiting way. As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only. 
     A “pharmaceutical formulation” or “formulation” refers to the process but also the product of a process in which an active drug or agent is combined with chemical substances to produce a final medicinal or drug product, the final formulation therefore refers to medicinal products such as liquids, powders or compositions. Therefore, in one embodiment, a pharmaceutical formulation is a pharmaceutical composition. 
     A “pharmaceutical composition” refers in this context to a liquid or powder preparation which is in such form as to permit the biological activity of the active ingredient(s) to be unequivocally effective, and which contains no additional components which are significantly toxic to the subjects to which the composition would be administered. Such compositions are sterile. A “powder” refers to a freeze-dried or lyophilized or a spray-dried pharmaceutical composition for parenteral use. The powder is reconstituted or dissolved typically in water. Lyophilisation is a low temperature dehydration process which involves freezing the product, lowering pressure, then removing the ice by sublimation. Freeze drying results in a high quality product because of the low temperature used in processing. For a well-developed lyophilized formulation, the shape and appearance of the product is maintained over time and the quality of the rehydrated product is excellent. Spray drying is a method of producing a dry powder from a liquid or slurry by rapidly drying with a hot gas and with the goal of achieving a consistent particle size distribution. 
     As used herein, the term “Water” refers to water for injection. 
     The “Pharmaceutically acceptable” excipients (vehicles, additives) are those which are suitable for parenteral administration to a subject. 
     In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical formulation of the present invention is stable. 
     “Stability” refers to chemical stability and physical stability and can be evaluated qualitatively and/or quantitatively using various analytical techniques that are described in the art and are reviewed in for example Peptide and Protein Drug Delivery, 247-301, Vincent Lee Ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, N.Y., Pubs. (1991) and Jones, A. Adv. Drug Delivery Rev. 10: 29-90 (1993). Those methods include the evaluation of aggregate and particle formation (for example using size exclusion chromatography, by measuring turbidity, sub-visible particles by light obscuration of or microflow imaging, and/or by visual inspection); by assessing charge heterogeneity using cation exchange chromatography or capillary isoelectric focusing; mass spectrometric analysis; capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) analysis to compare reduced and intact antibody; peptide map (for example tryptic or Lys-C digest) analysis; evaluating biological activity or antigen binding function of the antibody; etc. Instability may involve any one or more of: aggregation, deamidation (e.g. Asn deamidation), oxidation (e.g. Met oxidation), isomerization (e.g. Asp isomerization), clipping/hydrolysis/fragmentation (e.g. hinge region fragmentation), succinimide formation, unpaired cysteine(s), etc. A “deamidated” monoclonal antibody herein is one in which one or more asparagine residue thereof has been modified, e.g. to an aspartic acid or an isoaspartic acid by a post-translational modification. In order to measure stability, a sample of the formulation of the invention may be tested in a stability study, wherein a sample is exposed for a selected time period to a stress condition followed by quantitative and qualitative analysis of the chemical and physical stability using an adequate analytical technique. 
     Accordingly, stability can be measured at a selected temperature for a selected time period for instance by storing a sample at different temperatures such as −40° C., 5° C., 25° C. and 40° C. for up to 2 months and by using for instance HP-SEC, CEX, light obscuration, CGE or Binding activity for qualitative and quantitative analysis. 
     According to the above, a “stable formulation” is one in which the antibody is physically and chemically stable and/or retains its biological activity upon storage. 
     “Chemical stability” can be assessed by detecting and quantifying chemically altered forms of the antibody. Chemical alteration may involve size modification (e.g. clipping) which can be evaluated by, for example, using size exclusion chromatography, CGE and/or matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF MS). Other types of chemical alteration include charge alteration (e.g. occurring as a result of deamidation) which can be evaluated for example by ion-exchange chromatography. In context of the invention chemical stability is for example measured by cationic exchange chromatography (CEX), wherein a change of for example 5% may be considered as significant. 
     “Physical stability” refers substantially in context of the invention to an antibody having little or no signs of aggregation, precipitation and/or denaturation. Methods to access the physical stability are for example size exclusion chromatography (SEC), light obscuration (LO) and color and clarity. For size exclusion chromatography (SEC) a difference of for example ≥0.1% of the content might be considered as significantly different in the context of the invention under the tested conditions depending on the column used, operating pressure, flow rate of the buffer. 
     An antibody “retains its biological activity” in a pharmaceutical formulation, if the antibody in a pharmaceutical formulation is biologically active for its intended purpose. For example, biological activity is retained if the biological activity of the antibody in the pharmaceutical composition is within about 30%, about 20%, or about 10% (within the errors of the assay) of a reference standard (e.g., as determined in an antigen binding assay). As known by those skilled in the art, the percentage of monomeric antibodies maintained in the solution is of utmost importance for a suitable pharmaceutically active composition. Since aggregates may be responsible for causing several as well as severe side effects, the content of monomers displays the actual pharmaceutically active amount of the drug or the antibody or antibody fragment thereof. 
     The term “stress” or “stress condition” in context of the invention refers to e.g. mechanical stress, thermal stress, light stress or stress resulting from freezing and thawing. Methods and conditions to simulate mechanical stress, thermal stress, light stress or stress resulting from freezing and thawing are diverse and known to those skilled in the art. Mechanical stress may be for example shaking with 300 rpm at room temperature for up to 48 hrs. Thermal stress refers for example to the storage at decreased or increased temperatures for an amount of time, in one example samples may be stored at 5° C., 25° C. and 40° C., wherein for instance 25° C. and 40° C. refer to a stress condition. Light stress might be for example storing the samples at a light intensity of about 1100 lux for 5 days at room temperature. Samples might be exposed to stress from freezing and thawing by exposing the samples to several cycles of freezing, e.g. at −40° C. for 24 hrs and thawing at room temperature for 2 hrs, wherein the cycles are repeated 3 times. 
     As used herein “buffer” refers to a buffered solution that resists changes in pH by the action of its acid-base conjugate components. The “pH” herein refers to the acidity or basicity of the composition at room temperature. Standard methods to measure the pH of a composition are known to the skilled in the art. Typically, measuring pH consists of calibrating the instrument, placing the electrodes in a well-mixed sample, and then reading the pH directly from the pH meter. The exemplary buffers of the present invention include acetate, citrate, histidine, succinate, phosphate and Tris. 
     As used herein, the term “tonicifying agent” or “tonicity agent” or “tonicifyer” refers to substances providing an osmotic pressure equivalent to that of serum in the body including salts (e.g. sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 )) or sugars/polyols (e.g. sucrose, trehalose, sorbitol, glycerol, mannitol or dextrose). In addition, sugars/polyols present in the solution act as a cryoprotectant for the protein which allows the drug substance to be frozen without damage. This permits shipment in the frozen form and long-term storage of the drug substance prior to the filling of drug product. 
     The exemplary tonicifying agents of the present invention include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) (salts) and/or sucrose, trehalose, sorbitol, glycerol, mannitol or dextrose (sugars/polyols). In certain embodiments the tonicifying agent is a sugar or a polyol selected from the group consisting of sucrose, trehalose, sorbitol, glycerol, mannitol and dextrose. 
     As used herein, the term “stabilizer” or “stabilizing agent” refers to substances contributing to the stability of the active ingredient in a pharmaceutical formulation. The exemplary stabilizing agents of the present invention include arginine, histidine, glycine, cysteine, proline, methionine, lysine, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. 
     As used herein, the term “surfactant” refers to substances which tend to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which they are dissolved. The exemplary surfactants of the present invention include poloxamer 188, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 40, polysorbate 60 or polysorbate 80. 
     The present invention relates to anti-IL-36R antibody formulations for administration to mammals, in particular humans. The formulations of the present invention include humanized antibodies disclosed herein that bind to IL-36 receptor (IL-36R). In specific embodiments herein, the sequences of these humanized antibodies are identified. 
     The formulations of this invention minimize the formation of antibody aggregates and turbidity and insure that the antibody maintains its bioactivity over time. In particular the inventors of the present invention made the surprising finding as demonstrated in the Examples that the content of monomers of the formulated antibody is more stable and the formation of aggregates is far less pronounced in some of the formulations of the present invention at 40° C. when stored up to 3 months compared to other formulations tested. See Example 7. 
     As a result, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation of an anti-IL-36R antibody, wherein said formulation comprises a therapeutic amount of an anti-IL-36R antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof (disclosed herein) and i) a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer; or ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable tonicifying agent; or iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable stabilizing agent; or iv) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt; or v) a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant; or vi) a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer and a pharmaceutically acceptable tonicifying agent; or vii) a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer, a pharmaceutically acceptable tonicifying agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable stabilizing agent; or viii) a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer, a pharmaceutically acceptable tonicifying agent, a pharmaceutically acceptable stabilizing agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt; or ix) a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer, a pharmaceutically acceptable tonicifying agent, a pharmaceutically acceptable stabilizing agent, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant; each in pharmaceutically acceptable quantities and at a pharmaceutically acceptable pH. The formulation according to the present invention has improved properties as will be described below.

     In a third aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical product comprising a vial or syringe or device (e.g., autoinjector or needle safety device) comprising the pharmaceutical formulation according to the first or second aspect of the present invention. In an embodiment relating to this aspect, the pharmaceutical product comprises a pre-assembled injection device comprising the syringe (syringe comprising the pharmaceutical formulation) according to the first or second aspect of the present invention. In a related embodiment, the pre-assembled injection device is an autoinjector or needle safety device. 
     In an embodiment relating to the third aspect, said “pre-assembled injection device” is either a syringe with plunger rod and finger flange, a needle-safety device or an autoinjector. The needle safety device provides a needle protection mechanism which upon activation or injection retracts the needle from the injection site. For example, the needle safety device may be driven by a spring. An autoinjector is a medical device designed to deliver one dose of a drug, particularly an injectable drug. Syringes, needle-safety devices and autoinjectors avoid the need of transferring a drug from a vial into an injection device—a step which is laborious, often difficult and subject to particular risks (e.g., contamination or misdosage). Autoinjectors and needle-safety devices are easy to use and are intended for self-administration by patients, or administration by untrained personnel. Autoinjectors have a retractable needle, or a needle which is protected by a particular shield. Compared to syringes they offer facilitated handling, and they thus reduce risk of injury, or contamination, which contributes to their suitability for home use. 
     Autoinjectors further help to overcome the hesitation often associated with self-administration of the needle-based drug delivery device, and thus provide enhanced patient compliance, which in turn secures that the drug is regularly taken according to the prescribed dosage regimen, thus increasing the likelihood of therapeutic success. This is particularly important in therapeutic regimens which require repeated treatment, as is the case in many chronic diseases, like autoimmune diseases or in many cancer types which, due to targeted therapy, turn chronic nor near chronic. 
     Further, in such indications it is particularly beneficial if the patient can treat himself or herself at home, as is the case with autoinjectors and needle-safety devices. Home treatment further reduces therapy costs and increases patient compliance, as the patients do not have to see medical personnel each time the dosage regimen requires that the drug is delivered. In an embodiment of the invention, said autoinjector is from the spring-loaded syringe type. Such type contains a spring-loaded needle connected to a syringe. In another embodiment, said autoinjector is from the gas jet autoinjector type. The latter contains a cylinder of pressurised gas and propels a fine jet of liquid through the skin without the use of a needle. This has the advantage that the autoinjector can be reloaded, and a variety of different doses or different drugs can be used. In another embodiment of the invention, said pre-assembled injection device is selected from the group consisting of a conventional autoinjector, and/or wet/dry auto-injector. 
     A conventional autoinjector comprises the syringe (syringe filled with the pharmaceutical formulation) as outlined above and can be used for administration directly. A wet/dry auto-injector (also called “Liquid Dry autoinjector” or “Dual Chamber autoinjector”) is a two-chambered autoinjector that keeps the pharmaceutical formulation, or its active component, disposed in a dry chamber in a dry, stable form (e.g., lyophilized) until it is used. Prior to administration, the pharmaceutical formulation, or its active component, is reconstituted by transfer into a second chamber (“wet chamber”) containing a solvent or the solvent from a second chamber is transferred onto the first chamber. For said purpose, the dry chamber containing the solid medicament powder can for example also contain a volume of air or other gas which is replaced by the solvent when the pharmaceutical formulation, or its active component is reconstituted. 
     Preferably, the autoinjector is a disposable autoinjector and for single use. Suitable autoinjectors which can be used in the context of the present invention include the autoinjectors manufactured by Ypsomed. These include monodose devices, like the products sold under the trademarks “LyoTwist”, “YpsoMate”, “YpsoJect” and “VarioJect”. In an embodiment, the outer shell(s) of the autoinjector is customized to increase the ease of use and safety for the user. 
     Other suitable autoinjectors which can be used in the context of the present invention include the autocoinjectors manufactured by SHL. These include the products sold under the trademarks “Molly™”, “DAI™”, “DAI™-RNS”, “DAI™-R”, “SDI MIX+NIT™”, “VSDI™”, “PSDI™”, “Naisa™” and “DCP™ (OEM)”. 
     A further preferred type of autoinjector is the Physioject™ Disposable Autolnjector manufactured by Becton Dickinson. This auto-injector of the conventional type holds 1-2 mL prefilled syringes with a subcutaneous needle, is easy to assemble (2 assembly components), robust, has a large window for visual check and is tamper evident. 
     Another preferred type of autoinjector is the BD™ Liquid Dry Injector™ manufactured by Becton Dickinson™. This autoinjector of the wet/dry type allows the patient to reconstitute and inject a lyophilized pharmaceutical formulation according to the present invention, eliminating the need to handle vials and syringes. 
     Yet other suitable autoinjectors are the ASITMauto™ injector and the OTS™™ disposable auto injector provided by Bespaklnjectables™, the SafeClickTMautoinjector™ provided by Aqueo Future Injection Technologies™, and the SafeClick™-Lyo and the SafeClick™-Visco provided by Future Injection Technology™. This list is however non-restricting. 
     Preferably, the needle-safety device is a disposable needle-safety device and for single use. Suitable needle-safety device which can be used in the context of the present invention include the needle-safety device manufactured by Nemera. These include mono-dose devices as the passive safety device Safe‘n’Sound®. 
     In an embodiment of the present invention relating to the Nemeras Safe‘n’Sound®, a customization of the plunger rod and finger flange increase the ease of handling for the user. 
     Other suitable passive needle safety devices which might be used in the context of the present invention include the BD Preventis™ or the BD Ultrasafe™ manufactured by BD. 
     Further passive needle safety devices are for e.g. the Biocorp Newguard™ or the Owen Mumford Unisafe™.

     Antibodies 
     The anti-IL-36R antibodies of the present invention are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 9,023,995 or WO 2013/074569, the entire content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     Messenger RNAs for IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ are highly expressed in several tissues, particularly in internal epithelial tissues, which are exposed to pathogens and in skin. Interestingly, expression of IL-36Rα and IL-36α is significantly up-regulated in IL-1β/TNF-α-stimulated human keratinocytes, and IL-36Rα and IL-36γ mRNA are highly increased in lesional psoriasis skin. Moreover, IL-36γ protein production is enhanced in human keratinocytes after TNF-α and IFN-γ stimulation. Elevated IL-36α mRNA and protein expression was reported also in chronic kidney disease. Taken together, these data indicate that IL-36R ligands, including IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ, exert proinflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo and that IL-36Rα acts as a natural antagonist, thus mimicking the IL-1/IL-1Ra system. Evidence suggests that IL-36R ligands are involved in a number of disease conditions including inflammatory diseases. The anti-IL-36R antibodies described herein reduce or block IL36 ligand-mediated signaling and are useful in treating such conditions or diseases. Variable regions and CDRs of representative antibodies of the present invention are disclosed below:

     The antibodies of the present invention are useful in methods for the treatment of various diseases or disorders, for example immunological, inflammatory, autoimmune diseases and respiratory diseases in humans. For example, the antibodies of the present invention are useful in methods for the treatment of psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease or psoriatic arthritis. For example, the antibodies of the present invention are useful in methods for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) or asthma. For example, the antibodies of the present invention are useful in methods for the treatment of scleroderma, palmoplantar pustulosis, generalized pustular psoriasis, diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis, scleroderma, ankylosing spondylitis, deficiency in the IL-36 receptor antagonist autoimmune disease (DITRA), deficiency in the IL-1 receptor antagonist autoimmune disease (DIRA) or cryopyrin associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). 
     In some aspects, the humanized antibody displays blocking activity, whereby it decreases the binding of IL-36 ligand to IL-36 receptor by at least 45%, by at least 50%, by at least 55%, by at least 60%, by at least 65%, by at least 70%, by at least 75%, by at least 80%, by at least 85%, by at least 90%, or by at least 95%. The ability of an antibody to block binding of IL-36 ligand to the IL-36 receptor can be measured using competitive binding assays known in the art. Alternatively, the blocking activity of an antibody can be measured by assessing the biological effects of IL-36, such as the production of IL-8, IL-6, and GM-CSF to determine if signaling mediated by the IL-36 receptor is inhibited. 
     In a further aspect, the present invention provides a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody having favorable biophysical properties. In one aspect, a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention is present in at least 90% monomer form, or in at least 92% monomer form, or in at least 95% monomer form in a buffer.

In another embodiment, a humanized antibody of the present invention consists of the light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO:123 and the heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO:138 (Antibody C3). 
     In some embodiments, the humanized anti-IL-36R antibodies, including antigen-binding fragments thereof, such as heavy and light chain variable regions, comprise an amino acid sequence of the residues derived from Antibody B1, Antibody B2, Antibody B3, Antibody B4, Antibody B5, Antibody B6, Antibody C1, Antibody C2, or Antibody C3. 
     In a further embodiment, the present invention provides an anti-IL-36R antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that competitively binds to human IL-36R with an antibody of the present invention, for example Antibody B1, Antibody B2, Antibody B3, Antibody B4, Antibody B5, Antibody B6, Antibody C1, Antibody C2 or Antibody C3 described herein. The ability of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment to competitively bind to IL-36R can be measured using competitive binding assays known in the art. 
     The humanized anti-IL-36R antibodies optionally include specific amino acid substitutions in the consensus or germline framework regions.

     In specific embodiments, it is contemplated that chimeric antibodies with switched CDR regions (i.e., for example switching one or two CDRs of one of the mouse antibodies or humanized antibody derived therefrom with the analogous CDR from another mouse antibody or humanized antibody derived therefrom) between these exemplary immunoglobulins may yield useful antibodies. 
     In certain embodiments, the humanized anti-IL-36R antibody is an antibody fragment. Various antibody fragments have been generally discussed above and there are techniques that have been developed for the production of antibody fragments. Fragments can be derived via proteolytic digestion of intact antibodies (see, e.g., Morimoto et al., 1992, Journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Methods 24:107-117; and Brennan et al., 1985, Science 229:81). Alternatively, the fragments can be produced directly in recombinant host cells. For example, Fab′-SH fragments can be directly recovered from  E. coli  and chemically coupled to form F(ab′) 2  fragments (see, e.g., Carter et al., 1992, Bio/Technology 10:163-167). By another approach, F(ab′) 2  fragments can be isolated directly from recombinant host cell culture. Other techniques for the production of antibody fragments will be apparent to the skilled practitioner. Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention provides antibody fragments comprising the CDRs described herein, in particular one of the combinations of L-CDR1, L-CDR2, L-CDR3, H-CDR1, H-CDR2 and H-CDR3 described herein. In a further aspect, the present invention provides antibody fragments comprising the variable regions described herein, for example one of the combinations of light chain variable regions and heavy chain variable regions described herein. 
     Certain embodiments include an F(ab′) 2  fragment of a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody comprise a light chain sequence of any of SEQ ID NO: 115 or 118 in combination with a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 125, 126 or 127. Such embodiments can include an intact antibody comprising such an F(ab′) 2 . 
     Certain embodiments include an F(ab′) 2  fragment of a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody comprise a light chain sequence of any of SEQ ID NO: 123 or 124 in combination with a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 138 or 139. Such embodiments can include an intact antibody comprising such an F(ab′) 2 . 
     In some embodiments, the antibody or antibody fragment includes a constant region that mediates effector function. The constant region can provide antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) and/or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) responses against an IL-36R expressing target cell. The effector domain(s) can be, for example, an Fc region of an Ig molecule. 
     The effector domain of an antibody can be from any suitable vertebrate animal species and isotypes. The isotypes from different animal species differ in the abilities to mediate effector functions. For example, the ability of human immunoglobulin to mediate CDC and ADCC/ADCP is generally in the order of IgM≈IgG 1 ≈IgG 3 &gt;IgG 2 &gt;IgG 4  and IgG 1 ≈IgG 3 &gt;IgG 2 /IgM/IgG 4 , respectively. Murine immunoglobulins mediate CDC and ADCC/ADCP generally in the order of murine IgM≈IgG 3 &gt;&gt;IgG 2b &gt;IgG 2a &gt;&gt;IgG 1  and IgG 2b &gt;IgG 2a &gt;IgG 1 &gt;&gt;IgG 3 , respectively. In another example, murine IgG 2a  mediates ADCC while both murine IgG 2a  and IgM mediate CDC. 
     Humanization and Amino Acid Sequence Variants 
     Amino acid sequence variants of the anti-IL-36R antibody can be prepared by introducing appropriate nucleotide changes into the anti-IL-36R antibody DNA, or by peptide synthesis. Such variants include, for example, deletions from, and/or insertions into and/or substitutions of, residues within the amino acid sequences of the anti-IL-36R antibodies of the examples herein. Any combination of deletions, insertions, and substitutions is made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final construct possesses the desired characteristics. The amino acid changes also may alter post-translational processes of the humanized or variant anti-IL-36R antibody, such as changing the number or position of glycosylation sites. 
     A useful method for identification of certain residues or regions of the anti-IL-36R antibody that are preferred locations for mutagenesis is called “alanine scanning mutagenesis,” as described by Cunningham and Wells (Science, 244:1081-1085 (1989)). Here, a residue or group of target residues are identified (e.g., charged residues such as arg, asp, his, lys, and glu) and replaced by a neutral or negatively charged amino acid (typically alanine) to affect the interaction of the amino acids with IL-36R antigen. Those amino acid locations demonstrating functional sensitivity to the substitutions then are refined by introducing further or other variants at, or for, the sites of substitution. Thus, while the site for introducing an amino acid sequence variation is predetermined, the nature of the mutation per se need not be predetermined. For example, to analyze the performance of a mutation at a given site, alanine scanning or random mutagenesis is conducted at the target codon or region and the expressed anti-IL-36R antibody variants are screened for the desired activity. 
     Amino acid sequence insertions include amino- and/or carboxyl-terminal fusions ranging in length from one residue to polypeptides containing a hundred or more residues, as well as intrasequence insertions of single or multiple amino acid residues. Examples of terminal insertions include an anti-IL-36R antibody fused to an epitope tag. Other insertional variants of the anti-IL-36R antibody molecule include a fusion to the N- or C-terminus of the anti-IL-36R antibody of an enzyme or a polypeptide which increases the serum half-life of the antibody. 
     Another type of variant is an amino acid substitution variant. These variants have at least one amino acid residue in the anti-IL-36R antibody molecule removed and a different residue inserted in its place. The sites of greatest interest for substitutional mutagenesis include the hypervariable regions, but FR alterations are also contemplated. Conservative substitutions are shown in Table C under the heading of “preferred substitutions”. If such substitutions result in a change in biological activity, then more substantial changes, denominated “exemplary substitutions”, or as further described below in reference to amino acid classes, may be introduced and the products screened.

     In protein chemistry, it is generally accepted that the biological properties of the antibody can be accomplished by selecting substitutions that differ significantly in their effect on maintaining (a) the structure of the polypeptide backbone in the area of the substitution, for example, as a sheet or helical conformation, (b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the molecule at the target site, or (c) the bulk of the side chain. Naturally occurring residues are divided into groups based on common side-chain properties: 
     (1) hydrophobic: norleucine, met, ala, val, leu, ile;
 
(2) neutral hydrophilic: cys, ser, thr;
 
(3) acidic: asp, glu;
 
(4) basic: asn, gin, his, lys, arg;
 
(5) residues that influence chain orientation: gly, pro; and
 
(6) aromatic: trp, tyr, phe.
 
Non-conservative substitutions will entail exchanging a member of one of these classes for another class.
 
     Any cysteine residue not involved in maintaining the proper conformation of the humanized or variant anti-IL-36R antibody also may be substituted, generally with serine, to improve the oxidative stability of the molecule, prevent aberrant crosslinking, or provide for established points of conjugation to a cytotoxic or cytostatic compound. Conversely, cysteine bond(s) may be added to the antibody to improve its stability (particularly where the antibody is an antibody fragment such as an Fv fragment). 
     A type of substitutional variant involves substituting one or more hypervariable region residues of a parent antibody (e.g., a humanized or human antibody). Generally, the resulting variant(s) selected for further development will have improved biological properties relative to the parent antibody from which they are generated. A convenient way for generating such substitutional variants is affinity maturation using phage display. Briefly, several hypervariable region sites (e.g., 6-7 sites) are mutated to generate all possible amino substitutions at each site. The antibody variants thus generated are displayed in a monovalent fashion from filamentous phage particles as fusions to the gene III product of M13 packaged within each particle. The phage-displayed variants are then screened for their biological activity (e.g., binding affinity). In order to identify candidate hypervariable region sites for modification, alanine scanning mutagenesis can be performed to identify hypervariable region residues contributing significantly to antigen binding. Alternatively, or in addition, it may be beneficial to analyze a crystal structure of the antigen-antibody complex to identify contact points between the antibody and human IL-36R. Such contact residues and neighboring residues are candidates for substitution according to the techniques elaborated herein. Once such variants are generated, the panel of variants is subjected to screening as described herein and antibodies with superior properties in one or more relevant assays may be selected for further development. 
     Another type of amino acid variant of the antibody alters the original glycosylation pattern of the antibody. By “altering” is meant deleting one or more carbohydrate moieties found in the antibody, and/or adding one or more glycosylation sites that are not present in the antibody. 
     In some embodiments, it may be desirable to modify the antibodies of the invention to add glycosylations sites. Glycosylation of antibodies is typically either N-linked or O-linked. N-linked refers to the attachment of the carbohydrate moiety to the side chain of an asparagine residue. The tripeptide sequences asparagine-X-serine and asparagine-X-threonine, where X is any amino acid except proline, are the recognition sequences for enzymatic attachment of the carbohydrate moiety to the asparagine side chain. Thus, the presence of either of these tripeptide sequences in a polypeptide creates a potential glycosylation site. O-linked glycosylation refers to the attachment of one of the sugars N-aceylgalactosamine, galactose, or xylose to a hydroxyamino acid, most commonly serine or threonine, although 5-hydroxyproline or 5-hydroxylysine may also be used. Thus, in order to glycosylate a given protein, e.g., an antibody, the amino acid sequence of the protein is engineered to contain one or more of the above-described tripeptide sequences (for N-linked glycosylation sites). The alteration may also be made by the addition of, or substitution by, one or more serine or threonine residues to the sequence of the original antibody (for O-linked glycosylation sites). 
     Nucleic acid molecules encoding amino acid sequence variants of the anti-IL-36R antibody are prepared by a variety of methods known in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, isolation from a natural source (in the case of naturally occurring amino acid sequence variants) or preparation by oligonucleotide-mediated (or site-directed) mutagenesis, PCR mutagenesis, and cassette mutagenesis of an earlier prepared variant or a non-variant version of the anti-IL-36R antibody. 
     Polynucleotides, Vectors, Host Cells, and Recombinant Methods 
     Other embodiments encompass isolated polynucleotides that comprise a sequence encoding a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides, and recombinant techniques for production of the humanized antibody. The isolated polynucleotides can encode any desired form of the anti-IL-36R antibody including, for example, full length monoclonal antibodies, Fab, Fab′, F(ab′) 2 , and Fv fragments, diabodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibody molecules, and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. 
     Some embodiments include isolated polynucleotides comprising sequences that encode the light chain variable region of an antibody or antibody fragment having the amino acid sequence of any of SEQ ID NO: SEQ ID NO:1-10. Some embodiments include isolated polynucleotides comprising sequences that encode the heavy chain variable region of an antibody or antibody fragment having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:11-20. 
     Some embodiments include isolated polynucleotides comprising sequences that encode the light chain variable region of an antibody or antibody fragment having the amino acid sequence of any of SEQ ID NO:76-86. Some embodiments include isolated polynucleotides comprising sequences that encode the heavy chain variable region of an antibody or antibody fragment having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 87-101. 
     Some embodiments include isolated polynucleotides comprising sequences that encode the light chain of an antibody having the amino acid sequence of any of SEQ ID NO:114-124. Some embodiments include isolated polynucleotides comprising sequences that encode the heavy chain of an antibody having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:125-139. 
     In one aspect, the isolated polynucleotide sequence(s) encodes an antibody or antibody fragment having a light chain and a heavy chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:115 and SEQ ID NO:127, respectively; SEQ ID NO:118 and SEQ ID NO:126, respectively; SEQ ID NO:118 and SEQ ID NO:127, respectively; SEQ ID NO:115 and SEQ ID NO:125, respectively; SEQ ID NO:115 and SEQ ID NO:126, respectively; SEQ ID NO:118 and SEQ ID NO:125, respectively; SEQ ID NO:124 and SEQ ID NO:138, respectively; SEQ ID NO:123 and SEQ ID NO:139, respectively; SEQ ID NO:123 and SEQ ID NO:138, respectively. 
     The polynucleotide(s) that comprise a sequence encoding a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody or a fragment or chain thereof can be fused to one or more regulatory or control sequence, as known in the art, and can be contained in suitable expression vectors or host cell as known in the art. Each of the polynucleotide molecules encoding the heavy or light chain variable domains can be independently fused to a polynucleotide sequence encoding a constant domain, such as a human constant domain, enabling the production of intact antibodies. Alternatively, polynucleotides, or portions thereof, can be fused together, providing a template for production of a single chain antibody. 
     For recombinant production, a polynucleotide encoding the antibody is inserted into a replicable vector for cloning (amplification of the DNA) or for expression. Many suitable vectors for expressing the recombinant antibody are available. The vector components generally include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: a signal sequence, an origin of replication, one or more marker genes, an enhancer element, a promoter, and a transcription termination sequence. 
     The humanized anti-IL-36R antibodies can also be produced as fusion polypeptides, in which the antibody is fused with a heterologous polypeptide, such as a signal sequence or other polypeptide having a specific cleavage site at the amino terminus of the mature protein or polypeptide. The heterologous signal sequence selected is typically one that is recognized and processed (i.e., cleaved by a signal peptidase) by the host cell. For prokaryotic host cells that do not recognize and process the humanized anti-IL-36R antibody signal sequence, the signal sequence can be substituted by a prokaryotic signal sequence. The signal sequence can be, for example, alkaline phosphatase, penicillinase, lipoprotein, heat-stable enterotoxin II leaders, and the like. For yeast secretion, the native signal sequence can be substituted, for example, with a leader sequence obtained from yeast invertase alpha-factor (including  Saccharomyces  and  Kluyveromyces  a-factor leaders), acid phosphatase,  C. albicans  glucoamylase, or the signal described in WO90/13646. In mammalian cells, mammalian signal sequences as well as viral secretory leaders, for example, the herpes simplex gD signal, can be used. The DNA for such precursor region is ligated in reading frame to DNA encoding the humanized anti-IL-36R antibody. 
     Expression and cloning vectors contain a nucleic acid sequence that enables the vector to replicate in one or more selected host cells. Generally, in cloning vectors this sequence is one that enables the vector to replicate independently of the host chromosomal DNA, and includes origins of replication or autonomously replicating sequences. Such sequences are well known for a variety of bacteria, yeast, and viruses. The origin of replication from the plasmid pBR322 is suitable for most Gram-negative bacteria, the 2-u. plasmid origin is suitable for yeast, and various viral origins (SV40, polyoma, adenovirus, VSV, and BPV) are useful for cloning vectors in mammalian cells. Generally, the origin of replication component is not needed for mammalian expression vectors (the SV40 origin may typically be used only because it contains the early promoter). 
     Expression and cloning vectors may contain a gene that encodes a selectable marker to facilitate identification of expression. Typical selectable marker genes encode proteins that confer resistance to antibiotics or other toxins, e.g., ampicillin, neomycin, methotrexate, or tetracycline, or alternatively, are complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or in other alternatives supply specific nutrients that are not present in complex media, e.g., the gene encoding D-alanine racemase for Bacilli. 
     One example of a selection scheme utilizes a drug to arrest growth of a host cell. Those cells that are successfully transformed with a heterologous gene produce a protein conferring drug resistance and thus survive the selection regimen. Examples of such dominant selection use the drugs neomycin, mycophenolic acid, and hygromycin. Common selectable markers for mammalian cells are those that enable the identification of cells competent to take up a nucleic acid encoding a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody, such as DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase), thymidine kinase, metallothionein-I and -II (such as primate metallothionein genes), adenosine deaminase, ornithine decarboxylase, and the like. Cells transformed with the DHFR selection gene are first identified by culturing all of the transformants in a culture medium that contains methotrexate (Mtx), a competitive antagonist of DHFR. An appropriate host cell when wild-type DHFR is employed is the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line deficient in DHFR activity (e.g., DG44). 
     Alternatively, host cells (particularly wild-type hosts that contain endogenous DHFR) transformed or co-transformed with DNA sequences encoding anti-IL-36R antibody, wild-type DHFR protein, and another selectable marker such as aminoglycoside 3′-phosphotransferase (APH), can be selected by cell growth in medium containing a selection agent for the selectable marker such as an aminoglycosidic antibiotic, e.g., kanamycin, neomycin, or G418. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,965,199. 
     Where the recombinant production is performed in a yeast cell as a host cell, the TRP1 gene present in the yeast plasmid YRp7 (Stinchcomb et al., 1979, Nature 282: 39) can be used as a selectable marker. The TRP1 gene provides a selection marker for a mutant strain of yeast lacking the ability to grow in tryptophan, for example, ATCC No. 44076 or PEP4-1 (Jones, 1977, Genetics 85:12). The presence of the trp1 lesion in the yeast host cell genome then provides an effective environment for detecting transformation by growth in the absence of tryptophan. Similarly, Leu2p-deficient yeast strains such as ATCC 20,622 and 38,626 are complemented by known plasmids bearing the LEU2 gene. 
     In addition, vectors derived from the 1.6 μm circular plasmid pKD1 can be used for transformation of  Kluyveromyces  yeasts. Alternatively, an expression system for large-scale production of recombinant calf chymosin was reported for  K. lactis  (Van den Berg, 1990, Bio/Technology 8:135). Stable multi-copy expression vectors for secretion of mature recombinant human serum albumin by industrial strains of  Kluyveromyces  have also been disclosed (Fleer et al., 1991, Bio/Technology 9:968-975). 
     Expression and cloning vectors usually contain a promoter that is recognized by the host organism and is operably linked to the nucleic acid molecule encoding an anti-IL-36R antibody or polypeptide chain thereof. Promoters suitable for use with prokaryotic hosts include phoA promoter, P3-lactamase and lactose promoter systems, alkaline phosphatase, tryptophan (trp) promoter system, and hybrid promoters such as the tac promoter. Other known bacterial promoters are also suitable. Promoters for use in bacterial systems also will contain a Shine-Dalgarno (S.D.) sequence operably linked to the DNA encoding the humanized anti-IL-36R antibody. 
     Many eukaryotic promoter sequences are known. Virtually all eukaryotic genes have an AT-rich region located approximately 25 to 30 bases upstream from the site where transcription is initiated. Another sequence found 70 to 80 bases upstream from the start of transcription of many genes is a CNCAAT region where N may be any nucleotide. At the 3′ end of most eukaryotic genes is an AATAAA sequence that may be the signal for addition of the poly A tail to the 3′ end of the coding sequence. All of these sequences are suitably inserted into eukaryotic expression vectors. 
     Examples of suitable promoting sequences for use with yeast hosts include the promoters for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase or other glycolytic enzymes, such as enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, 3-phosphoglycerate mutase, pyruvate kinase, triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglucose isomerase, and glucokinase. 
     Inducible promoters have the additional advantage of transcription controlled by growth conditions. These include yeast promoter regions for alcohol dehydrogenase 2, isocytochrome C, acid phosphatase, derivative enzymes associated with nitrogen metabolism, metallothionein, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and enzymes responsible for maltose and galactose utilization. Suitable vectors and promoters for use in yeast expression are further described in EP 73,657. Yeast enhancers also are advantageously used with yeast promoters. 
     Humanized anti-IL-36R antibody transcription from vectors in mammalian host cells is controlled, for example, by promoters obtained from the genomes of viruses such as polyoma virus, fowlpox virus, adenovirus (such as Adenovirus 2), bovine papilloma virus, avian sarcoma virus, cytomegalovirus, a retrovirus, hepatitis-B virus and Simian Virus 40 (SV40), from heterologous mammalian promoters, e.g., the actin promoter or an immunoglobulin promoter, or from heat-shock promoters, provided such promoters are compatible with the host cell systems. 
     The early and late promoters of the SV40 virus are conveniently obtained as an SV40 restriction fragment that also contains the SV40 viral origin of replication. The immediate early promoter of the human cytomegalovirus is conveniently obtained as a HindIII E restriction fragment. A system for expressing DNA in mammalian hosts using the bovine papilloma virus as a vector is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,419,446. A modification of this system is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,601,978. See also Reyes et al., 1982, Nature 297:598-601, disclosing expression of human p-interferon cDNA in mouse cells under the control of a thymidine kinase promoter from herpes simplex virus. Alternatively, the Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat can be used as the promoter. 
     Another useful element that can be used in a recombinant expression vector is an enhancer sequence, which is used to increase the transcription of a DNA encoding a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody by higher eukaryotes. Many enhancer sequences are now known from mammalian genes (e.g., globin, elastase, albumin, α-fetoprotein, and insulin). Typically, however, an enhancer from a eukaryotic cell virus is used. Examples include the SV40 enhancer on the late side of the replication origin (bp 100-270), the cytomegalovirus early promoter enhancer, the polyoma enhancer on the late side of the replication origin, and adenovirus enhancers. See also Yaniv, 1982, Nature 297:17-18 for a description of enhancing elements for activation of eukaryotic promoters. The enhancer may be spliced into the vector at a position 5′ or 3′ to the humanized anti-IL-36R antibody-encoding sequence, but is preferably located at a site 5′ from the promoter. 
     Expression vectors used in eukaryotic host cells (yeast, fungi, insect, plant, animal, human, or nucleated cells from other multicellular organisms) can also contain sequences necessary for the termination of transcription and for stabilizing the mRNA. Such sequences are commonly available from the 5′ and, occasionally 3′, untranslated regions of eukaryotic or viral DNAs or cDNAs. These regions contain nucleotide segments transcribed as polyadenylated fragments in the untranslated portion of the mRNA encoding anti-IL-36R antibody. One useful transcription termination component is the bovine growth hormone polyadenylation region. See WO94/11026 and the expression vector disclosed therein. In some embodiments, humanized anti-IL-36R antibodies can be expressed using the CHEF system. (See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,888,809; the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.) 
     Suitable host cells for cloning or expressing the DNA in the vectors herein are the prokaryote, yeast, or higher eukaryote cells described above. Suitable prokaryotes for this purpose include eubacteria, such as Gram-negative or Gram-positive organisms, for example, Enterobacteriaceae such as  Escherichia , e.g.,  E. coli, Enterobacter, Erwinia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella , e.g.,  Salmonella typhimurium, Serratia , e.g.,  Serratia marcescans , and  Shigella , as well as Bacilli such as  B. subtilis  and  B. licheniformis  (e.g.,  B. licheniformis  41 P disclosed in DD 266,710 published Apr. 12, 1989),  Pseudomonas  such as  P. aeruginosa , and  Streptomyces . One preferred  E. coli  cloning host is  E. coli  294 (ATCC 31,446), although other strains such as  E. coli  B,  E. coli  X1776 (ATCC 31,537), and  E. coli  W3110 (ATCC 27,325) are suitable. These examples are illustrative rather than limiting. 
     In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts for humanized anti-IL-36Rantibody-encoding vectors.  Saccharomyces cerevisiae , or common baker&#39;s yeast, is the most commonly used among lower eukaryotic host microorganisms. However, a number of other genera, species, and strains are commonly available and useful herein, such as  Schizosaccharomyces pombe; Kluyveromyces  hosts such as, e.g.,  K. lactis, K. fragilis  (ATCC 12,424),  K. bulgaricus  (ATCC 16,045),  K. wickeramii  (ATCC 24,178),  K. waltii  (ATCC 56,500),  K. drosophilarum  (ATCC 36,906),  K. thermotolerans , and  K. marxianus; yarrowia  (EP 402,226);  Pichia pastors  (EP 183,070);  Candida; Trichoderma reesia  (EP 244,234);  Neurospora crassa; Schwanniomyces  such as  Schwanniomyces occidentalis ; and filamentous fungi such as, e.g.,  Neurospora, Penicillium, Tolypocladium , and  Aspergillus  hosts such as  A. nidulans  and  A. niger.    
     Suitable host cells for the expression of glycosylated humanized anti-IL-36R antibody are derived from multicellular organisms. Examples of invertebrate cells include plant and insect cells, including, e.g., numerous baculoviral strains and variants and corresponding permissive insect host cells from hosts such as  Spodoptera frugiperda  (caterpillar),  Aedes aegypti  (mosquito),  Aedes albopictus  (mosquito),  Drosophila melanogaster  (fruitfly), and  Bombyx mori  (silk worm). A variety of viral strains for transfection are publicly available, e.g., the L-1 variant of  Autographa californica  NPV and the Bm-5 strain of  Bombyx mori  NPV, and such viruses may be used, particularly for transfection of  Spodoptera frugiperda  cells. 
     Plant cell cultures of cotton, corn, potato, soybean,  petunia , tomato, and tobacco can also be utilized as hosts. 
     In another aspect, expression of humanized anti-IL-36R is carried out in vertebrate cells. The propagation of vertebrate cells in culture (tissue culture) has become routine procedure and techniques are widely available. Examples of useful mammalian host cell lines are monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7, ATCC CRL 1651), human embryonic kidney line (293 or 293 cells subcloned for growth in suspension culture, (Graham et al., 1977, J. Gen Virol. 36: 59), baby hamster kidney cells (BHK, ATCC CCL 10), Chinese hamster ovary cells/-DHFR1 (CHO, Urlaub et al., 1980, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77: 4216; e.g., DG44), mouse sertoli cells (TM4, Mather, 1980, Biol. Reprod. 23:243-251), monkey kidney cells (CV1 ATCC CCL 70), African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76, ATCC CRL-1587), human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA, ATCC CCL 2), canine kidney cells (MDCK, ATCC CCL 34), buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A, ATCC CRL 1442), human lung cells (W138, ATCC CCL 75), human liver cells (Hep G2, HB 8065), mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562, ATCC CCL51), TR1 cells (Mather et al., 1982, Annals N.Y. Acad. Sci. 383: 44-68), MRC 5 cells, FS4 cells, and human hepatoma line (Hep G2). 
     Host cells are transformed with the above-described expression or cloning vectors for humanized anti-IL-36R antibody production and cultured in conventional nutrient media modified as appropriate for inducing promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying the genes encoding the desired sequences. 
     The host cells used to produce a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody described herein may be cultured in a variety of media. Commercially available media such as Ham&#39;s F10 (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, Mo.), Minimal Essential Medium ((MEM), (Sigma-Aldrich Co.), RPMI-1640 (Sigma-Aldrich Co.), and Dulbecco&#39;s Modified Eagle&#39;s Medium ((DMEM), Sigma-Aldrich Co.) are suitable for culturing the host cells. In addition, any of the media described in one or more of Ham et al., 1979, Meth. Enz. 58: 44, Barnes et al., 1980, Anal. Biochem. 102: 255, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,767,704, 4,657,866, 4,927,762, 4,560,655, 5,122,469, WO 90/103430, and WO 87/00195 may be used as culture media for the host cells. 
     Any of these media may be supplemented as necessary with hormones and/or other growth factors (such as insulin, transferrin, or epidermal growth factor), salts (such as sodium chloride, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate), buffers (such as HEPES), nucleotides (such as adenosine and thymidine), antibiotics (such as gentamicin), trace elements (defined as inorganic compounds usually present at final concentrations in the micromolar range), and glucose or an equivalent energy source. Other supplements may also be included at appropriate concentrations that would be known to those skilled in the art. The culture conditions, such as temperature, pH, and the like, are those previously used with the host cell selected for expression, and will be apparent to the ordinarily skilled artisan. 
     When using recombinant techniques, the antibody can be produced intracellularly, in the periplasmic space, or directly secreted into the medium. If the antibody is produced intracellularly, the cells may be disrupted to release protein as a first step. Particulate debris, either host cells or lysed fragments, can be removed, for example, by centrifugation or ultrafiltration. Carter et al., 1992, Bio/Technology 10:163-167 describes a procedure for isolating antibodies that are secreted to the periplasmic space of  E. coli . Briefly, cell paste is thawed in the presence of sodium acetate (pH 3.5), EDTA, and phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF) over about 30 minutes. Cell debris can be removed by centrifugation. Where the antibody is secreted into the medium, supernatants from such expression systems are generally first concentrated using a commercially available protein concentration filter, for example, an Amicon or Millipore Pellicon ultrafiltration unit. A protease inhibitor such as PMSF may be included in any of the foregoing steps to inhibit proteolysis and antibiotics may be included to prevent the growth of adventitious contaminants. A variety of methods can be used to isolate the antibody from the host cell. 
     The antibody composition prepared from the cells can be purified using, for example, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, and affinity chromatography, with affinity chromatography being a typical purification technique. The suitability of protein A as an affinity ligand depends on the species and isotype of any immunoglobulin Fc domain that is present in the antibody. Protein A can be used to purify antibodies that are based on human gamma1, gamma2, or gamma4 heavy chains (see, e.g., Lindmark et al., 1983 J. Immunol. Meth. 62:1-13). Protein G is recommended for all mouse isotypes and for human gamma3 (see, e.g., Guss et al., 1986 EMBO J. 5:1567-1575). A matrix to which an affinity ligand is attached is most often agarose, but other matrices are available. Mechanically stable matrices such as controlled pore glass or poly(styrenedivinyl)benzene allow for faster flow rates and shorter processing times than can be achieved with agarose. Where the antibody comprises a C H3  domain, the Bakerbond ABX™ resin (J. T. Baker, Phillipsburg, N.J.) is useful for purification. Other techniques for protein purification such as fractionation on an ion-exchange column, ethanol precipitation, reverse phase HPLC, chromatography on silica, chromatography on heparin SEPHAROSE™ chromatography on an anion or cation exchange resin (such as a polyaspartic acid column), chromatofocusing, SDS-PAGE, and ammonium sulfate precipitation are also available depending on the antibody to be recovered. 
     Following any preliminary purification step(s), the mixture comprising the antibody of interest and contaminants may be subjected to low pH hydrophobic interaction chromatography using an elution buffer at a pH between about 2.5-4.5, typically performed at low salt concentrations (e.g., from about 0-0.25M salt). 
     Also included are nucleic acids that hybridize under low, moderate, and high stringency conditions, as defined herein, to all or a portion (e.g., the portion encoding the variable region) of the nucleotide sequence represented by isolated polynucleotide sequence(s) that encode an antibody or antibody fragment of the present invention. The hybridizing portion of the hybridizing nucleic acid is typically at least 15 (e.g., 20, 25, 30 or 50) nucleotides in length. The hybridizing portion of the hybridizing nucleic acid is at least 80%, e.g., at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 98%, identical to the sequence of a portion or all of a nucleic acid encoding an anti-IL-36R polypeptide (e.g., a heavy chain or light chain variable region), or its complement. Hybridizing nucleic acids of the type described herein can be used, for example, as a cloning probe, a primer, e.g., a PCR primer, or a diagnostic probe. 
     Therapeutic Uses 
     In another embodiment, a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody disclosed herein is useful in the treatment of various disorders associated with the expression of IL-36R as described herein. Methods for treating an IL-36R associated disorder comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of a humanized anti-IL-36R antibody to a subject in need thereof. 
     The humanized anti-IL-36R antibody or agent is administered by any suitable means, including parenteral, subcutaneous, intrapulmonary, and intranasal, and, if desired for local immunosuppressive treatment, intralesional administration (including perfusing or otherwise contacting the graft with the antibody before transplantation). The humanized anti-IL-36R antibody or agent can be administered, for example, as an infusion or as a bolus. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, or subcutaneous administration. In addition, the humanized anti-IL-36R antibody is suitably administered by pulse infusion, particularly with declining doses of the antibody. In one aspect, the dosing is given by injections, most preferably intravenous or subcutaneous injections, depending in part on whether the administration is brief or chronic. 
     For the prevention or treatment of disease, the appropriate dosage of antibody will depend on a variety of factors such as the type of disease to be treated, as defined above, the severity and course of the disease, whether the antibody is administered for preventive or therapeutic purposes, previous therapy, the patient&#39;s clinical history and response to the antibody, and the discretion of the attending physician. The antibody is suitably administered to the patient at one time or over a series of treatments. 
     Depending on the type and severity of the disease, about 1 μg/kg to 20 mg/kg (e.g., 0.1-15 mg/kg) of antibody is an initial candidate dosage for administration to the patient, whether, for example, by one or more separate administrations, or by continuous infusion. A typical daily dosage might range from about 1 μg/kg to 100 mg/kg or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. For repeated administrations over several days or longer, depending on the condition, the treatment is sustained until a desired suppression of disease symptoms occurs. However, other dosage regimens may be useful. The progress of this therapy is easily monitored by conventional techniques and assays. An exemplary dosing regimen is that disclosed in WO 94/04188. 
     The term “suppression” is used herein in the same context as “amelioration” and “alleviation” to mean a lessening of one or more characteristics of the disease. 
     The antibody composition will be formulated, dosed, and administered in a fashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. The “therapeutically effective amount” of the antibody to be administered will be governed by such considerations, and is the minimum amount necessary to prevent, ameliorate, or treat the disorder associated with IL-36R expression. 
     The antibody need not be, but is optionally, formulated with one or more agents currently used to prevent or treat the disorder in question. The effective amount of such other agents depends on the amount of humanized anti-IL-36R23p19 antibody present in the formulation, the type of disorder or treatment, and other factors discussed above. These are generally used in the same dosages and with administration routes as used hereinbefore or about from 1 to 99% of the heretofore employed dosages.

     Various delivery systems are known and can be used to administer the IL-36R binding agent. Methods of introduction include but are not limited to intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, and oral routes. The IL-36R binding agent can be administered, for example by infusion, bolus or injection, and can be administered together with other biologically active agents such as chemotherapeutic agents. Administration can be systemic or local. In preferred embodiments, the administration is by subcutaneous injection. Formulations for such injections may be prepared in for example prefilled syringes that may be administered once every other week. 
     In specific embodiments, the IL-36R binding agent formulation is administered by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository, or by means of an implant, the implant being of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, comprising a membrane, such as a sialastic membrane, or a fiber. Typically, when administering the formulation, materials to which the anti-IL-36R antibody or agent does not absorb are used. 
     In other embodiments, the anti-IL-36R antibody or agent is delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump may be used (see, e.g., Langer, 1990, Science 249:1527-1533; Sefton, 1989, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14:201; Buchwald et al., 1980, Surgery 88:507; Saudek et al., 1989, N. Engl. J. Med. 321:574). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used. (See, e.g., Medical Applications of Controlled Release (Langer and Wise eds., CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla., 1974); Controlled Drug Bioavailability, Drug Product Design and Performance (Smolen and Ball eds., Wiley, New York, 1984); Ranger and Peppas, 1983, Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem. 23:61. See also Levy et al., 1985, Science 228:190; During et al., 1989, Ann. Neurol. 25:351; Howard et al., 1989, J. Neurosurg. 71:105.) Other controlled release systems are discussed, for example, in Langer, supra. 
     An IL-36R binding agent (e.g., an anti-IL-36R antibody) can be administered as pharmaceutical formulations comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the binding agent and one or more pharmaceutically compatible ingredients. 
     Where the pharmaceutical is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where the pharmaceutical is administered by injection, an ampoule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients can be mixed prior to administration. 
     Further, the pharmaceutical formulation can be provided as a pharmaceutical kit comprising (a) a container containing a IL-36R binding agent (e.g., an anti-IL-36R antibody) in lyophilized form and (b) a second container containing a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent (e.g., sterile water) for injection. The pharmaceutically acceptable diluent can be used for reconstitution or dilution of the lyophilized anti-IL-36R antibody or agent. Optionally associated with such container(s) can be a notice in the form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of pharmaceuticals or biological products, which notice reflects approval by the agency of manufacture, use or sale for human administration. 
     The amount of the IL-36R binding agent (e.g., anti-IL-36R antibody) that is effective in the treatment or prevention of an immunological disorder or cancer can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed in the formulation will also depend on the route of administration, and the stage of immunological disorder or cancer, and should be decided according to the judgment of the practitioner and each patient&#39;s circumstances. 
     In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulations comprising the IL-36R binding agent can further comprise a therapeutic agent, either conjugated or unconjugated to the binding agent. The anti-IL-36R antibody or IL-36R binding agent can be co-administered in combination with one or more therapeutic agents for the treatment or prevention of immunological disorders or cancers. 
     Such combination therapy administration can have an additive or synergistic effect on disease parameters (e.g., severity of a symptom, the number of symptoms, or frequency of relapse). 
     With respect to therapeutic regimens for combinatorial administration, in a specific embodiment, an anti-IL-36R antibody or IL-36R binding agent is administered concurrently with a therapeutic agent. In another specific embodiment, the therapeutic agent is administered prior or subsequent to administration of the anti-IL-36R antibody or IL-36R binding agent, by at least an hour and up to several months, for example at least an hour, five hours, 12 hours, a day, a week, a month, or three months, prior or subsequent to administration of the anti-IL-36R antibody or IL-36R binding agent. 
     Articles of Manufacture 
     In another aspect, an article of manufacture containing materials useful for the treatment of the disorders described above is included. The article of manufacture comprises a container and a label. Suitable containers include, for example, bottles, vials, syringes, and test tubes. The containers may be formed from a variety of materials such as glass or plastic. The container holds a formulation that is effective for treating the condition and may have a sterile access port. For example, the container may be an intravenous solution bag or a vial having a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic injection needle. The active agent in the formulation is the humanized anti-IL-36R antibody. The label on or associated with the container indicates that the formulation is used for treating the condition of choice. The article of manufacture may further comprise a second container comprising a pharmaceutically-acceptable buffer, such as phosphate-buffered saline, Ringer&#39;s solution, and dextrose solution. It may further include other materials desirable from a commercial and user standpoint, including other buffers, diluents, filters, needles, syringes, and package inserts with instructions for use. 
     The invention is further described in the following examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. 
     EXAMPLES 
     Example 1 
     Conformational and Colloidal Stability (pH and Buffer Screening) 
     Thermal stability in the pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 was evaluated by monitoring the temperature of unfolding (T(h)) using DSF (Differential Scanning Fluorimetry). The T(h) is the temperature of hydrophobic exposure, which is analogous to and reported here as the Tm, thus denoting the temperature of protein unfolding. The samples were diluted with the respective buffers to a target concentration of 0.5 mg/mL for use in thermal stability screening by DSF. 
     The colloidal stability of the formulations was assessed by DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering). The diffusion coefficient of an antibody of the present invention was measured at several different protein concentrations in different buffers. 
     The results from the DSF analysis for the pH/buffer screen showed a clear impact of pH on the thermal unfolding temperature Tm. Thermal stability data indicated that the conformational stability was slightly increasing with increasing pH. Table 1 shows the buffers that were evaluated and the corresponding Tm in the respective buffers.

     The colloidal stability screening study ( FIG. 1 ) showed the surprising results that formulations of an anti-IL-36R antibody (as disclosed herein) in pH 5.5 (25 mM acetate), and pH 6.0 (25 mM histidine) exhibited the most promising properties (minimized protein-protein interaction and highest degree of diffusivity). The colloidal screening assay predicted that acetate (pH 5.5) and histidine (pH 6.0) should have the least amount of protein-protein interactions. The colloidal stability screening study was conducted for the anti-IL-36R antibody at concentrations of 5-20 mg/mL. 
     Example 2 
     Chemical Stability Study (2 Weeks at 40° C.) 
     The chemical stability of an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention was evaluated as a function of pH/buffer. Samples were prepared at 80 mg/mL in the pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. Samples were filled with 1 mL in 2 mL glass vials. The samples were incubated at 40° C. for 14 days. Samples were evaluated by i.a. visual assessment, protein concentration (A280), HP-SEC (High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography) for the determination of monomer content and aggregate formation, and CEX (cation exchange chromatography) for the measurement of charge variants as APGs (acidic peak groups), BPGs (basic peak groups) and the main peak. 
     The visual assessment of the samples showed that most of the samples became turbid at the end of 14 days. Surprisingly, only samples in 25 mM acetate pH 5.5 remained clear after 14 days at 40° C. 
     HP-SEC indicated that the most favorable buffer in terms of % main peak remaining after 14 days was 25 mM acetate pH 5.5 (98.5%), followed by 25 mM citrate pH 6.5 (97.5%) and 25 mM citrate pH 6.0 (97.1%). Main peak data after 14 days at 40° C. of further buffers as histidine pH 6.0, phosphate 6.5 and succinate pH 6.4 were between 88.9 to 91.9%. 
     The CEX data after 14 days at 40° C. indicated the highest % main peak in 25 mM acetate pH 5.5 (54.0%), compared to the other tested buffers (33.3%-44.5%). 
     The CEX data after 14 days at 40° C. indicated the lowest % acidic peak in 25 mM acetate pH 5.5 (38.1%), compared to the other tested buffers (as high as 58.1%). This buffer had also comparable performance to the other buffers in terms of minimizing the appearance of basic species. 
     Based on the results obtained by visual assessment, and HP-SEC and CEX, 25 mM acetate pH 5.5 appeared to be the most favorable formulation buffer after the 14 day accelerated stability study. 
     Although the Tm was lowest for pH 5.5 in the thermal screening study, it was concluded that the conformational stability would be improved by the addition of excluded solute stabilizers (e.g. sucrose). Hence, 25 mM acetate pH 5.5 was selected to be the buffer of choice for an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention.

     The following experiments were conducted for the surfactant study: freeze-thaw stability, agitation stability. The following assays were used to analyze samples generated from different experiments: i.a. HP-SEC and subvisible particles. 
     Freeze-Thaw Stability Study 
     A solution of an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention was frozen in glass vials at −40° C. for 24 hours, followed by thawing at room temperature for 2 hours. This procedure was repeated for up to 3 times. The samples were then analyzed by i.a. HP-SEC. 
     Surprisingly, HP-SEC results showed that formulations with 0.06% polysorbate 20 had elevated levels of high molecular weight species after three freeze-thaw cycles ( FIG. 2 ), relative to other formulations with lower concentrations of polysorbate 20. Those formulations with polysorbate 20 concentrations between 0 and 0.04% performed equally well and slightly better than the formulation with 0.06% polysorbate 20. 
     Agitation Stability 
     The agitation study was performed with a shaker at room temperature for 48 hours. Analysis was performed by i.a. HP-SEC and flow imaging microscopy to measure sub-visible particle (SVP) content. 
     HP-SEC results indicated a slight increase in aggregation when polysorbate 20 was not present ( FIG. 3 ). All other formulations had similar aggregate levels at each sampling point. 
     Surprisingly, SVP results showed the formulation with 0.04% PS20 to have the lowest number of subvisible particles after agitation for 48 hours (Table 3).

     Raising the concentration of polysorbate 20 above 0.04% (w/v) resulted unexpectedly in a slight increase in sample aggregation of freeze-thaw samples. On the other hand, agitation studies showed that removing polysorbate 20 resulted in slightly higher aggregation. Additionally after agitation, SVP were higher at polysorbate 20 concentrations above and below 0.04% (w/v), which was not expected. Based on these results, the final concentration of polysorbate 20 was chosen to be 0.04% (w/v). Additionally studies showed that 0.04% (w/v) polysorbate 20 were also feasible for solution containing 60 mg/mL protein.

     Final Formulation Screening Study 
     Based on the initial screening data, six candidate formulations (Table 4) were chosen to be tested in the final formulation screening with an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention at 150 mg/mL. Arginine HCl and NaCl were added to evaluate their potential to reduce protein-protein interactions. Reduction of protein-protein interactions can reduce aggregation and decrease viscosity.

     The following experiments were conducted for the final formulation screening of the six candidate formulations: Eight Weeks Accelerated Stability Study, Freeze-Thaw Stability, Agitation Stability and Photo Stability. 
     Eight Weeks Accelerated Stability Study 
     The protein concentration for all the formulations was 150 mg/mL, measured values for concentration fell within 155-166 mg/mL. The samples were filled into 2 mL glass vials (1 mL per vial). The acetate concentration was 45 mM. Samples were stored at three different temperatures (5° C., 25° C., 40° C.). The samples were analyzed by the following assays: i.a. subvisible particles, HP-SEC, IL-36R-Binding (potency), Non-Reduced CGE (capillary gel electrophoresis to detect fragments) and icIEF (imaged capillary isoelectric focusing to measure charge variants.) Subvisible Particles (SVP) 
     The monitoring of subvisible particles in candidate formulations was performed by flow imaging microscopy. Surprisingly, for samples stored at 5, 25, and 40° C., no clear trends were observed in the counts of particles with diameter 10-25 μm or 25 μm and larger. In both categories, all six formulations showed similar results with low sub-visible particle counts at the end of the eight week study. 
     icIEF 
     A generic charge profile for an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention display acidic, basic, and main peak groups. The charge variants of an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention after 8 weeks at 40° C. appeared to trend very similarly between the formulations. 
     Non-Reduced CGE 
     In order to assess the fragmentation and disulfide bond reduction of an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention formulations upon storage, results from non-reduced capillary gel electrophoresis were evaluated. A similar degree of fragmentation and disulfide bond reduction (% LMW) was observed for all the formulations at the three storage temperatures. 
     HP-SEC 
     The stability of formulations with respect to aggregation (% HMW) in candidate formulations was assessed by HP-SEC. F2 and F5 exhibited lower % HMW after 8 weeks at 25° C. and 40° C. ( FIG. 4 ). 
     Potency 
     The potency of an antibody of the anti-IL-36R present invention formulation candidates was assessed using a binding assay. Remarkably, the potency of all six formulations appears stable even after storage at 40° C. for eight weeks. 
     Freeze-Thaw Stability of Candidate Formulations 
     An anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention solution (1 mL) was filled into 2 mL glass vials (1 mL per vial) and frozen at −40° C., followed by thawing at room temperature. This procedure was repeated for a total of 3 cycles. The following assays were utilized for analysis: visual assessment, pH, protein concentration, HP-SEC, Non-Reduced CGE, and subvisible particles. 
     Notably, all results of the analytical methods revealed that the six formulations performed equally well. 
     Agitation Stability of Candidate Formulations 
     The solution of an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention was filled into 2 mL glass vials (1 mL per vial). Samples were shaken for 48 h at room temperature. The samples were analyzed by: i.a. pH, protein concentration, visual assessment, HP-SEC, Non-Reduced CGE, and icIEF. 
     Surprisingly, agitation did not have any impact on the performance of the six formulations in the assessed analytical results. 
     Photo Stability of Candidate Formulations 
     The six formulations were filled into 2 mL glass vials (1 mL per vial), stoppered, and capped. The vials were placed at room temperature at a light intensity of approximately 1100 lux for 5 days. The samples were analyzed using the following assays: visual assessment, protein concentration, pH, HP-SEC, icIEF, and Non-Reduced CGE. 
     The results of visual assessment, pH, protein concentration, icIEF and Non-Reduced CGE showed that there was no impact of light exposure for any of the formulations tested. 
     A slight impact on main peak content in HP-SEC was observed, but the decrease was lowest for F5 after 5 days at room temperature and light exposure (Table 5). In principle all formulations were unexpectedly stable against light exposure.

     Summary of Final Formulation Screening Study 
     Surprisingly, evaluation of the data from the eight-weeks accelerated stability study showed that all the formulations performed equally well when assessed by various assays. The only exception to this was that formulation F2 and F5 appeared slightly more stable than the other formulations regarding high molecular weight species after eight weeks of storage, particularly at 25 and 40° C. This indicates that arginine imparts a positive impact by reducing protein-protein interaction for an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention, thereby reducing aggregation propensity. Furthermore, F5 showed slightly less loss of main peak in the photo exposure study. 
     Example 5 
     Viscosity of Different Proteins and Formulations 
     Lower viscosity of protein formulations is beneficial especially for home use and self-administration by patients themselves. Protein solution with lower viscosity can be injected comfortably. Additionally based on low viscosity thin syringe needles could be used and the injection force is still acceptable. Due to the thin needles injection pain is reduced. 
     However high concentrated protein solutions typically show high viscosity. 
     Viscosity data of different proteins and formulations at 20° C. are shown in  FIG. 5 . The data were generated with a Thermo Scientific Haake rheometer (Mars III) and a plate and cone measuring geometry. Examples of different proteins with protein concentration from 145 to 189 mg/mL are added. Data are illustrated on the X-axis with increasing protein concentration. Additionally the viscosity data for anti-IL-36R antibody at 60 mg/mL is exemplarily added in order the show the effect of protein concentration on viscosity (lower protein concentration results in lower viscosity). Compared to typical high concentrated protein solutions, anti-IL-36R antibody solutions have unexpected low viscosity values.

     30 Months Stability Study 
     The stability of each formulation was monitored at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 30 or 36 months. The samples were analyzed by the following assays: i.a. subvisible particles, HP-SEC, IL-36R-Binding (potency), Non-Reduced CGE (capillary gel electrophoresis to detect fragments) and icIEF (imaged capillary isoelectric focusing to measure charge variants.) 
     Subvisible Particles (SVP) 
     The monitoring of subvisible particles in candidate formulations was performed by flow light obscuration. Surprisingly, for samples stored for 30 months at 5° C., low numbers of particles were observed with diameter 10-25 μm or 25 μm and larger for both F1 and F2 after at least 30 months of storage at 5° C. (data not shown). 
     icIEF 
     A generic charge profile for an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention display acidic, basic, and main peak groups. There was very little change in the charge profile after at least 30 months of storage at 5° C. for both F1 and F2 (data not shown). 
     Non-Reduced CGE 
     In order to assess the fragmentation and disulfide bond reduction of an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention formulations upon storage, results from non-reduced capillary gel electrophoresis were evaluated. Very low levels of fragmentation and disulfide bond reduction (% LMW) were observed after at least 30 months of storage at 5° C. for both F1 and F2 (data not shown). 
     HP-SEC 
     The stability of formulations with respect to aggregation (% HMW) was assessed by HP-SEC. Surprisingly, F1 and F2 exhibited very low % HMW after at least 30 months of storage at 5° C. ( FIG. 6 ). 
     Potency 
     The potency of an antibody of the anti-IL-36R present invention formulation candidates was assessed using a binding assay. Remarkably, the potency of F1 and F2 appears stable even after at least 30 months of storage at 5° C. (data not shown). 
     Summary of Long-term Stability Studies 
     Evaluation of the data from the 30-month stability study showed that both F1 and F2 performed equally well when assessed by various assays. Remarkably, formulations showed very low % HMW content after at least 30 months of storage. 
     Example 7 
     Accelerated Stability Study 
     Two formulations (Table 7) were chosen to be tested in a stability study under stress conditions. Two formulations with an anti-IL-36R antibody of the present invention were held at 40° C. for up to three months in 10 mL glass vials (8 mL per vial). Formulation F2 represents a reference formulation that can be used for parenteral administration.

Turbidity was analyzed by 90° light scattering with a Hach Lange TL2350 turbidity meter at 400-600 nm. The data is shown in  FIG. 7 . Formulation F2 showed an at least twice as high turbidity result as Formulation F1. Formulation F1 surprisingly exhibited a very low turbidity from the initial sampling time point over the course of the study up to three months. 
     HP-SEC 
     The stability of formulations with respect to aggregation (% HMW) was assessed by HP-SEC. The data is depicted in  FIG. 8 . Unexpectedly, the Formulation F1 exhibited a very low % HMW from the initial sampling time point on over the course of the study up to three months, compared to the reference Formulation F2. The % HMW is at least 45% higher for the reference Formulation F2 compared to the Formulation F1. 
     Summary of Accelerated Stability Study 
     Evaluation of the data from the three months stability study under stress conditions at 40° C. showed at least twice as high turbidity results of reference Formulation F2 in correlation to Formulation F1. Furthermore, the Formulation F1 exhibited a very low % HMW from the initial sampling time point over the course of the study up to three months, compared to the reference Formulation F2.

     The stability of the formulation was monitored prior to lyophilization, directly after lyophilization and reconstitution, as well as after 1, 3 and 6 months of storage at 40° C. The samples were analyzed by the following assays: i.a. turbidity, subvisible particles and aggregate levels by HP-SEC. 
     Turbidity 
     Turbidity was measured by 90° light scattering (A=400-600 nm) with a Hach Lange TL2350 turbidity meter. The tested formulation exhibited a low turbidity that was not impacted by the lyophilization step. Surprisingly, the turbidity value did not increase after 6 months of storage at 40° C. ( FIG. 9 ). 
     HP-SEC 
     Besides, the stability of the powder formulation with respect to aggregation (% HMW) was performed by HP-SEC. Freeze-concentration and stresses at the ice-water interface arising during lyophilization did unexpectedly not lead to the formation of protein aggregates. Moreover, the powder formulation showed very low % HMW after at least 6 months of storage at 40° C. ( FIG. 10 ). 
     Summary Stability Lyophilized Formulation 
     Evaluation of the data from this study surprisingly showed the feasibility to lyophilize an anti-IL36R antibody formulation without any impact on protein quality. Furthermore, the subsequent stability study under stressed conditions at 40° C. confirmed the extraordinary stability of the anti-IL-36R antibody in the aforementioned powder formulation.
