Abstract:
The invention provides a method for enriching the level of VEGF-A121 isoform in a sample by selectively removing the VEGF-A165 isoform from the sample using a neuropilin-1 pull-down procedure, then determining the total amount of VEGF-A remaining afterward. The invention provides methods of treating a patient suffering from a disease which may benefit from the administration of a VEGF antagonist by determining the level or ratio of VEGF-A121 in the patient's circulation. Methods of diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and patient stratification are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for treating hypercholesterolemia. The methods of the present invention comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutic composition comprising an anti-PCSK9 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.
Abstract:
An human antibody or antigen-binding fragment of a human antibody that specifically binds and inhibits human proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (hPCSK9) characterized by the ability to reduce serum LDL cholesterol by 40-80% over a 24, 60 or 90 day period relative to predose levels, with little or no reduction in serum HDL cholesterol and/or with little or no measurable effect on liver function, as determined by ALT and AST measurements.

Abstract:
The present invention provides antibodies that bind to the class III variant of EGFR (EGFRvIII) and methods of using the same. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind human EGFRvIII with high affinity. The antibodies of the invention may be fully human antibodies. The invention includes anti-EGFRvIII antibodies conjugated to a cytotoxic agent, radionuclide, or other moiety detrimental to cell growth or proliferation. The antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers.
