The invention provides a composition comprising polyclonal antibodies that specifically bind to with human tumor necrosis factor (hTNF) wherein the polyclonal antibodies are derived from the serum, milk or colostrum of a bovine animal that has been immunized hTNF or an immunogenic portion thereof. The antigenic specificity analysis of the anti-hTNF polyclonal antibodies of the invention is unique and has not been previously described for anti-hTNF polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies of the prior art.

Human antibodies, preferably recombinant human antibodies, that specifically bind to human interleukin-12 (hIL-12) are disclosed. Preferred antibodies have high affinity for hIL-12 and neutralize hIL-12 activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hIL-12 and for inhibiting hIL-12 activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hIL-12 activity is detrimental. Nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expressing the recombinant human antibodies of the invention, and methods of synthesizing the recombinant human antibodies, are also encompassed by the invention.
