A human antibody fragment, which antibody or fragment: (i) binds to a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 of the C-terminal domain of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE-CTD) or the amino acid sequence of a part thereof; and (ii) binds to human plaques.
摘要:
This disclosure provides, inter alia, proteins that bind to ET2, e.g., immunoglobulins that inhibit ET2 with high affinity and selectivity. The ET2 binding proteins can be used to treat a variety of disorders including angiogenesis-associated disorders.
摘要:
Tiel is a receptor tyrosine kinase protein that includes a transmembrane domain. Tiel is present on endothelial cells. This disclosure described antibodies that bind to Tiel, including ones that inhibit endothelial cell activity.
摘要:
The invention relates to albumin fusion proteins comprising an albumin fusion partner and a protease inhibitor fusion partner which may be a Kunitz domain protease inhibitor capable of inhibiting a serine protease, including neutrophil elastase, kallikrein, and plasm The fusion proteins exhibit extended shelf life and/or extended therapeutic activity in solution. The invention encompasses therapeutic albumin fusion proteins, compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, formulations and kits comprising the albumin fusion proteins, a well as nucleic acid molecules encoding the albumin fusion proteins, vectors comprising these nucleic acids, host cells transformed w these nucleic acids and vectors, and methods of making the encoded proteins using the nucleic acids, vectors and/or host cells. The invention also relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting neutrophil elastase, kallikrein, and plasmin, and to compositions an methods for treating cystic fibrosis and cancer.
摘要:
The present invention provides binding polypeptides for KDR or VEGF/KDR complex, which have a variety of uses wherever treating, detecting, isolating or localizing angiogenesis is advantageous. Particularly disclosed are synthetic, isolated polypeptides capable of binding KDR or VEGF/KDR complex with high affinity ( e . g ., having a K D
摘要:
In order to obtain a novel binding protein against a chosen target, DNA molecules, each encoding a protein comprising one of a family of similar potential binding domains and a structural signal calling for the display of the protein on the outer surface of a chosen bacterial cell, bacterial spore or phage (genetic package) are introduced into a genetic package. The protein is expressed and the potential binding domain is displayed on the outer surface of the package. The cells or viruses bearing the binding domains which recognise the target molecule are isolated and amplified. The successful binding domains are then characterised. One or more of these successful binding domains is used as a model for the design of a new family of potential binding domains, and the process is repeated until a novel binding domain having a desired affinity for the target molecule is obtained. In one embodiment, the first family of potential binding domains is related to bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, the genetic package is M 13 phage, and the protein includes the outer surface transport signal of the M 13 gene III protein.
