摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, or prevention of cancer, particularly, metastatic cancer. In one embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of an antibody that binds to EphA2 and agonizes EphA2, thereby increasing EphA2 phosphorylation and decreasing EphA2 levels. In other embodiments, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of an antibody that binds to EphA2 and inhibits cancer cell colony formation in soft agar, inhibits tubular network formation in three-dimensional basement membrane or extracellular matrix preparation, preferentially binds to an EphA2 epitope that is exposed on cancer cells but not non-cancer cells, and/or has a low Koff, thereby, inhibiting tumor cell growth and/or metastasis. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more EphA2 antibodies of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful for cancer therapy.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, prevention and/or amelioration of various disorders associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of one or more Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family members and/or one or more Eph receptor ligands, particularly the Ephrins. In particular, the invention provides methods for the treatment, management, prevention and/or amelioration of a disorder associated with aberrant expression and/or activity(ies) of one or more Eph receptors and/or one or more Ephrins, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of one or more Eph/Ephrin Modulators. The present invention further relates to methods of modulating antibody specificity by tailoring the affinity to cognate antigens.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, and/or amelioration of an infection, in particular an intracellular pathogen infection, such as a viral, bacterial, protozoa or fungal infection. In particular, the present invention provides methods for treating, managing, preventing and/or ameliorating an infection where the expression of EphA2 is upregulated in infected cells (e.g., infected epithelial cells), said methods comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of one or more EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators. In accordance with the present invention, such methods may also comprise the administration of one or more therapies other than an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators, and optionally, one or more prophylactic or therapeutic agents other than an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator, and the use of such compositions in the treating, management, prevention and/or amelioration of an infection. Further provided by the invention are articles of manufacture and kits comprising an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator of the invention, and, optionally, other prophylactic or therapeutic agents (e.g., immunomodulatory agents, anti-viral agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-bacterial agents, anti-fungal agents, etc.).

The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, prevention and/or amelioration of non-neoplastic hyperproliferative epithelial and/or endothelial cell disorders, including but not limited to disorders associated with increased deposition of extracellular matrix components (e.g., collagen, proteoglycans, tenascin and fibronectin) and/or aberrant angiogenesis. Non-limiting examples of such disorders include cirrhosis, fibrosis (e.g., fibrosis of the liver, kidney, lungs, heart, retina and other viscera), asthma, ischemia, atherosclerosis, diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, vascular restenosis, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, infantile hemangioma, verruca vulgaris, Kaposi's sarcoma, neurofibromatosis, recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus, Reiter's syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, endometriosis, preeclampsia, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, psoriatic arthropathy and psoriasis. The methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more agents that are modulators of EphA2 and/or its endogenous ligand, EphrinA1. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful for therapy for such non-neoplastic hyperproliferative epithelial and/or endothelial disorders. Diagnostic methods and methods for screening for EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators are also provided.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, or prevention of cancer, particularly, metastatic cancer. In one embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more antibodies that bind to EphA4 and agonize EphA4. In another embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more antibodies that bind to EphA4 and inhibit cancer cell colony formation in soft agar or tubular network formation in three-dimensional basement membrane or extracellular matrix preparation. In another embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more antibodies that preferentially binds to an EphA4 epitope that is exposed on cancer cells but not non-cancer cells. In another embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more antibodies that bind to EphA4 with a very low Koff to reduce EphA4 expression and, thereby, inhibit tumor cell growth and/or metastasis. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more EphA4 antibodies of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful for cancer therapy.
