Abstract:
The subject invention relates to isolated proteins, particularly monoclonal antibodies, which bind to the Nogo-66 receptor. Specifically, these antibodies have the ability to inhibit the binding of the natural ligand of the Nogo-66 receptor and neutralize the Nogo-66 receptor. These antibodies or portions thereof of the invention are useful for detecting NgR and for inhibiting NgR activity, for example in a human suffering from a disorder in which NgR or Nogo-66 activity is detrimental.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to engineered multivalent and multispecific binding proteins, methods of making, and specifically to their uses in the prevention and/or treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory and other diseases.
Abstract:
The subject invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that have the ability to bolster the function of the GLP-1 receptor and may therefore have utility in the treatment of mammalian metabolic disorders such as, for example, diabetes. In particular, the invention describes the generation of fully human monoclonal antibodies made against extracellular domains of the human GLP-1 receptor which are capable of binding the intact receptor and activating it in a manner similar to the native ligand. Additionally, the invention describes methods used to generate and develop allosteric modulator antibodies of the human GLP-1 receptor with potential therapeutic uses.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to engineered multivalent and multispecific binding proteins, methods of making, and specifically to their uses in the prevention, diagnosis, and/or treatment of disease.

Abstract:
The invention provides compositions, methods, and kits related to half-Ig binding proteins that include a functional antibody binding site and a CH3 domain wherein the CH3 domain includes at least one mutation to inhibit CH3-CH3 dimerization.
Abstract:
This invention pertains to methods of treating systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis or Sjogren's Syndrome with compounds that selectively inhibit the activity of Bcl-2 anti-apoptotic proteins. Specifically, the current invention is directed to treatment with compounds that selectively inhibit the activity of Bcl-2 proteins, with a lesser affinity for inhibiting the activity of other BCL-2 family proteins, including Bcl-xL.
