Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and compositions treating or preventing cancer and for sensitizing cancer cells to radiation or a chemotherapeutic agent, which comprises administering i) an erbB inhibitor; and ii) interferon-gamma (IFN ).
Abstract:
The present invention provides glycan-interacting antibodies and methods for producing glycan-interacting antibodies useful in the treatment and prevention of human disease, including cancer. Such glycan-interacting antibodies include monoclonal antibodies, derivatives, and fragments thereof as well as compositions and kits comprising them. Further provided are methods of using glycan-interacting antibodies to target cells and treat disease.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to anti-HERI antigen binding proteins, e.g. anti-HERI antibodies, that bind to the beta-hairpin of HER1, methods for selecting these antigen binding proteins, their preparation and use as medicament.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions for the production of an antibody or functional fragment thereof directed against Sialyl-Lewisa (sLea). The compositions of the invention include polynucleotides encoding a heavy chain and/or a light chain variable domain that binds to sLea. The invention also provides an isolated antibody or functional fragment thereof and methods of treating or preventing a disease, such as cancer or tumor formation, wherein the antibody or functional fragment includes a variable heavy chain domain and a variable light chain domain that has an amino acid sequence provided herein. The invention further provides a conjugate of an antibody or functional fragment thereof conjugated or recombinantly fused to a diagnostic agent, detectable agent or therapeutic agent, and methods of treating, preventing or diagnosing a disease in a subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
We disclose the use of bacterial antigens and obtained antibodies. The resulting antibodies can be used in the diagnosis of tumors by immunohistochemistry and in the binding of drugs to antibodies for use in cancer therapy.
Abstract:
The present application relates to granulocytes and their role in both cancer and inflammation. More particularly, it was found that c-Met expressed by granulocytes is important in transmigration and recruitment of the granulocytes. It is shown that reducing c-Met-mediated transmigration of granulocytes sustains tumor progression, indicating that c-Met-mediated granulocyte transmigration should actually be maintained because it is beneficial in treatment of cancers, particularly cancers that otherwise show resistance to c-Met inhibition. Reducing c-Met-mediated transmigration on the other hand is particularly useful in conditions characterized by an excessive immune response, such as asthma.
Abstract:
This invention relates to anti-prostate-specific membrane antigen antibodies (αPSMA) and αPSMA antibody - nuclear receptor ligand (NRL) conjugates comprising at least one non-naturally-encoded amino acid.
Abstract:
Isolated monoclonal antibodies which bind to human c-Met, the hepatocyte growth factor receptor, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the antibodies are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A glycolipopeptide comprising a carbohydrate component, a peptide component and a lipid component, for use as a therapeutic or prophylactic vaccine. Also provided are monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies that recognize the glycolipopeptide of the invention, as well as uses thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides antibodies (such as chimeric and humanized antibodies) specifically bind to an epitope on CD43 and CEA expressed on nonhematopoietic cancer cells. In addition, the present invention also provides use of the antibodies described herein for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
