Abstract:
Disclosed herein are compositions comprising one or more antibodies that specifically bind active plasma kallikrein (e.g., human plasma kallikrein) and methods of using such compositions for the treatment of retinal diseases, such as diabetic macular edema.
Abstract:
Methods, kits and compositions for diagnosing and treating autoimmue diseases such as rheumatiodi arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.

Abstract:
Described herein are bispecific antibodies that bind to plasma kallikrein (pKal) and Factor XII and methods of producing and using such bi-specific antibodies for treating diseases or disorders associated with the contact system, e.g., hereditary angioedema or thrombosis. One aspect of the present disclosure is a bispecific antibody, comprising: a first polypeptide that comprises a light chain of a first antibody, the light chain comprising a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL) (e.g., a kappa light chain or a lambda light chain); and a second polypeptide that comprises a heavy chain of the first antibody, the heavy chain comprising a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH).

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are anti-Factor XIIa antibodies and methods of using such for treating diseases associated with Factor XII, including diseases associated with contact system activation, plasma prekallikrein signaling (e.g., hereditary angioedema), and ocular diseases.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods of evaluating a subject, e.g., a subject at risk for or suffering from a pKal-mediated or bradykinin-mediated disorder, based on values (e.g., percentages) of intact and/or cleaved kininogen in a sample of the subject. Provided methods permit analysis of patients with plasma kallikrein-mediated angioedema (KMA), or other diseases mediated by pKal useful in the evaluation and treatment. Such methods can involve the use of a detection agent that preferentially binds cleaved kininogen or intact kininogen.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are antibodies capable of binding to plasma kallikrein and inhibit its activity. Such antibodies interact with one or more critical residues in the catalytic domain of the plasma kallikrein. The antibodies may also contain specific heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDRs) motifs and optionally specific residues at certain positions within both the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region.
