20100056439 | LIGANDS THAT HAVE BINDING SPECIFICITY FOR EGFR AND/OR VEGF AND METHODS OF USE THEREFOR - Disclosed are ligands that have binding specificity for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), or for VEGF and EGFR. Also disclosed are methods of using these ligands. In particular, the use of these ligands for cancer therapy is described. | 03-04-2010 |
20100247515 | POLYPEPTIDES, ANTIBODY VARIABLE DOMAINS AND ANTAGONISTS - The invention relates to anti-VEGF polypeptides and antibody single variable domains (dAbs) that are resistant to degradation by a protease, as well as antagonists comprising these. The polypeptides, dAbs and antagonists are useful for pulmonary administration, oral administration, delivery to the lung and delivery to the GI tract of a patient, as well as for treating cancer and inflammatory disease, such as arthritis. | 09-30-2010 |
20100254972 | METHODS FOR SELECTING PROTEASE RESISTANT POLYPEPTIDES - The invention relates to a method for selecting, isolating and/or recovering a peptide or polypeptide from a library or a repertoire of peptides and polypeptides (e.g., a display system) that is resistant to degradation by a protease such as a protease found in the GI tract or pulmonary tissue of a human. Generally, the method comprises providing a library or repertoire of peptides or polypeptides, combining the library or repertoire with a protease under conditions suitable for protease activity, and selecting, isolating and/or recovering a peptide or polypeptide that is resistant to degradation by the protease and has a desired biological activity. The selected peptides and polypeptides have utility as therapeutics, eg for treating disease or conditions of GI tract or pulmonary tissue in humans. | 10-07-2010 |
20100254995 | POLYPEPTIDES, ANTIBODY VARIABLE DOMAINS AND ANTAGONISTS - The invention relates to anti-VEGF polypeptides and antibody single variable domains (dAbs) that are resistant to degradation by a protease, as well as antagonists comprising these. The polypeptides, dAbs and antagonists are useful for pulmonary administration, oral administration, delivery to the lung and delivery to the GI tract of a patient, as well as for treating cancer and inflammatory disease, such as arthritis. | 10-07-2010 |
20100260763 | POLYPEPTIDES, ANTIBODY VARIABLE DOMAINS AND ANTAGONISTS METHODS FOR - The invention relates to anti-IL-1R1 polypeptides and antibody single variable domains (dAbs) that are resistant to degradation by a protease, as well as antagonists comprising these. The polypeptides, dAbs and antagonists are useful for as therapeutics and/or prophylactics that are likely to encounter proteases when administered to a patient, for example for pulmonary administration, oral administration, delivery to the lung and delivery to the GI tract of a patient, as well as for treating inflammatory disease, such as arthritis or COPD. | 10-14-2010 |
20100266616 | POLYPEPTIDES, ANTIBODY VARIABLE DOMAINS AND ANTAGONISTS - The invention relates to anti-TNFR1 polypeptides and antibody single variable domains (dAbs) that are resistant to degradation by a protease, as well as antagonists comprising these. The polypeptides, dAbs and antagonists are useful for as therapeutics and/or prophylactics that are likely to encounter proteases when administered to a patient, for example for pulmonary administration, oral administration, delivery to the lung and delivery to the GI tract of a patient, as well as for treating inflammatory disease, such as arthritis or COPD. | 10-21-2010 |
20100291103 | POLYPEPTIDES, ANTIBODY VARIABLE DOMAINS AND ANTAGONISTS - The invention relates to anti-VEGF polypeptides and antibody single variable domains (dAbs) that are resistant to degradation by a protease, as well as antagonists comprising these. The polypeptides, dAbs and antagonists are useful for pulmonary administration, oral administration, delivery to the lung and delivery to the GI tract of a patient, as well as for treating cancer and inflammatory disease, such as arthritis. | 11-18-2010 |
20110086019 | POLYPEPTIDES, ANTIBODY VARIABLE DOMAINS AND ANTAGONISTSMETHODS FOR - The invention relates to anti-TNFR1 polypeptides and antibody single variable domains (dAbs) that are resistant to degradation by a protease, as well as antagonists comprising these. The polypeptides, dAbs and antagonists are useful for as therapeutics and/or prophylactics that are likely to encounter proteases when administered to a patient, for example for pulmonary administration, oral administration, delivery to the lung and delivery to the GI tract of a patient, as well as for treating inflammatory disease, such as arthritis or COPD. | 04-14-2011 |
20110159003 | Ligands That Bind Il-4 and/or Il-13 - Disclosed are ligands that have binding specificity for interleukin-4 (IL-4), for interleukin-13 (IL-13), or for IL-4 and IL-13. Also disclosed are methods of using these ligands. In particular, the use of these ligands for treating allergic asthma is described. | 06-30-2011 |
20110229458 | METHODS FOR SELECTING PROTEASE RESISTANT POLYPEPTIDES - The disclosure relates to a method for selecting, isolating and/or recovering a peptide or polypeptide from a library or a repertoire of peptides and polypeptides (e.g., a display system) that is resistant to degradation by a protease such as a protease found in the serum. Generally, the method comprises providing a library or repertoire of peptides or polypeptides, incubating the library or repertoire with a protease under conditions suitable for protease activity, and selecting, isolating and/or recovering a peptide or polypeptide that is resistant to degradation by the protease and has a desired biological activity. The selected peptides and polypeptides have utility as therapeutics, e.g., for treating disease in humans. | 09-22-2011 |
