Abstract:
The present invention relates to antagonist antibodies that specifically bind to Notch 3 and inhibit its activation. The present invention includes antibodies binding to a conformational epitope comprising the first Lin12 domain and the second dimerization domain. The present invention also includes uses of these antibodies to treat or prevent Notch 3 related diseases or disorders.
Abstract:
The invention relates to humanized anti-human Factor D monoclonal antibodies, their nucleic acid and amino acid sequences, the cells and vectors that harbor these antibodies and their use in the preparation of compositions and medicaments for treatment of diseases and disorders associated with excessive or uncontrolled complement activation. These antibodies are useful for diagnostics, prophylaxis and treatment of disease.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel antibodies that bind specifically to human Notch 3 and their use in the detection and/or diagnosis of Notch 3 related diseases, such as cancer. The present invention also includes nucleic acids encoding these novel antibodies, vectors and cell lines harboring the nucleic acids, and kits comprising the antibodies for use in the detection and diagnosis.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to anti-IL13 antibodies that bind specifically and with high affinity to both glycosylated and non-glycosylated human IL13, does not bind mouse IL13, and neutralize human IL13 activity at an approximate molar ratio of 1:2 (MAb:IL13). The invention also relates to the use of these antibodies in the treatment of IL13-mediated diseases, such as allergic disease, including asthma, allergic asthma, non-allergic (intrinsic) asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, eczema, urticaria, food allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ulcerative colitis, RSV infection, uveitis, scleroderma, and osteoporosis.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the treatment of ocular diseases and conditions by administering a complement pathway inhibitor, particularly an alternative pathway inhibitor. Ocular diseases include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and ocular angiogenesis. One embodiment comprises the administration of an anti-Factor D antibody in the form of a whole antibody, a Fab fragment or a single domain antibody. Other complement component inhibitors that may be useful in the present method include Factor H or inhibitors that block the action of properdin, factor B, factor Ba, factor Bb, C2, C2a, C3a, C5, C5a, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, or C5b-9.
