Abstract:
The present invention describes methods of generating single VL domain antibodies, including chimeric single chain antibodies that comprise of a variable region of a human immunoglobulin ? or ? light chain and a non-human constant region. The non-human constant region is devoid of a first constant domain CH1, and the variable region is devoid of a heavy chain variable domain.
Abstract:
Antibodies directed to the antigen IL-1ß and uses of such antibodies are described. In particular, fully human monoclonal antibodies directed to the antigen IL-1ß are discussed. Nucleotide sequences encoding, and amino acid sequences comprising, heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules, particularly sequences corresponding to contiguous heavy and light chain sequences spanning the framework regions and/or complementarity determining regions (CDR's), specifically from FR1 through FR4 or CDR1 through CDR3. Hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such immunoglobulin molecules and monoclonal antibodies are described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel antibodies, particularly antibodies directed against deletion mutants of epidermal growth factor receptor and particularly to the type III deletion mutant, EGFRvIII. The invention also relates to human monoclonal antibodies directed against deletion mutants of epidermal growth factor receptor and particularly to EGFRvIII. Diagnostic and therapeutic formulations of such antibodies, and immunoconjugates thereof, are also provided.
Abstract:
Antibodies directed to the antigen Ang-2 and uses of such antibodies are described. In particular, fully human monoclonal antibodies directed to the antigen Ang-2. Nucleotide sequences encoding, and amino acid sequences comprising, heavy and light chain immunoglobin molecules, particularly sequences corresponding to contiguous heavy and light chain sequences spanning the framework regions and/or complementary determining regions (CDR’s), specifically from FR1 through FR4 or CDR1 through CDR3. Hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such immunoglobin molecules and monoclonal antibodies.
Abstract:
The present embodiments relate to methods of identifying and creating human, or humanized antibodies that possess a reduced risk of inducing a Human Anti-Human Antibody (HAHA) response when they are applied to a human host. Other methods are directed to predicting the likelihood of a HAHA response occurring. Methods for screening for anti-HAHA compounds are also included.
Abstract:
Specific binding agents that interact with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) are described. Methods of treating cancer by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a specific binding agent to HGF are described. Methods of detecting the amount of HGF in a sample using a specific binding agent to HGF are described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel antibodies, particularly antibodies directed against deletion mutants of epidermal growth factor receptor and particularly to the type III deletion mutant, EGFRvIII. The invention also relates to human monoclonal antibodies directed against deletion mutants of epidermal growth factor receptor and particularly to EGFRvIII. Diagnostic and therapeutic formulations of such antibodies, and immunoconjugates thereof, are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to transgenic animals bearing one or more human λ light chain loci. The invention also relates to methods and compositions for making transgenic animals that have incorporated human λ light chain loci. The invention further relates to methods of using and compositions derived from the transgenic animals that have incorporated human λ light chain loci.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method to determine the composition of a hydrocarbon feedstream from a small sample of hydrocarbons including the steps analyzing the sample with a combination of chromatograph and mass spectrometer, and reconciling output from step a) with other analytical measurements to determine to determine the composition of the hydrocarbon feedstream.
Abstract:
