Abstract:
This invention refers to an antibody or an antigen binding portion thereof, that binds specifically to human corneal endothelial cells (hCENCs), wherein the target of the monoclonal antibody, or antigen binding portion thereof, is essentially cell surface-expressed Peroxiredoxin-6 (Prdx6), as well as to methods for determining suitability of a cell sample for corneal transplantation, for quantitative enrichment of human corneal endothelial cells from a mixture of cells, and for isolating human corneal en dothelial cells from a mixture of cell.
Abstract:
The invention relates to antigen-binding molecules that specifically bind to MHC Class I DLA-12 antigen. In one embodiment, the antigen-binding molecule is an antibody that specifically binds to canine MHC Class I DLA-12 antigen. Chimeric molecules of the antibody conjugated to another heterologous moiety are also provided. In one embodiment, the heterologous moiety is monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). A method of inhibiting cancer using the antibody or the chimeric molecule thereof is also provided. In another embodiment, the antibody-MMAE conjugate suppresses tumour development in a murine model of B cell lymphoma.
