| 20080220438 | Telomerase Promoter Sequences for Screening Telomerase Modulators - Telomerase reverse transcriptase is part of the telomerase complex responsible for maintaining telomere length and increasing the replicative capacity of progenitor cells. Telomerase activity is turned off in mature differentiated cells, but is turned back on again in hyperplastic diseases, including many cancers. This disclosure provides regulatory elements that promote transcription in cells that express telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). The disclosure also provides systems using TERT promoter sequences for identifying compounds that can be used to modulate telomerase expression | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080274114 | Anti-Egfr Antibodies - The present invention encompasses EGFR specific monoclonal antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof. These antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, have high affinity for EGFR, inhibit the activation of EGFR, and are useful for the treatment of EGFR mediated cancers. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090202986 | METHODS OF OPTIMIZING ANTIBODY VARIABLE REGION BINDING AFFINITY - The present invention provides optimized heteromeric variable region binding fragments and antibodies comprising optimized heteromeric variable region binding fragments. Preferably, the optimized heteromeric variable region binding fragments exhibit optimized activity compared to donor heteromeric variable regions and have unvaried human frameworks. The present invention also provides methods of making the optimized heteromeric variable region binding fragments. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090209004 | HUMAN IL-1 BETA ANTAGONISTS - The present invention encompasses isolated antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind mature human IL-1 Beta. These antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, generally exhibit high binding affinities (low k | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090239258 | Anti-IL-6 Antibody Nucleic Acid Molecules and Methods - Anti-IL-6 antibody nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof have applications in diagnostic and/or therapeutic compositions, methods and devices. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090240036 | Anti-IL-23 Antibodies - The present invention encompasses isolated antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind to the p19 subunit of IL-23. These antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, are high affinity, neutralizing antibodies useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100092434 | THROMBOPOIETIC ACTIVITY OF TYROSYL-TRNA SYNTHETASE POLYPEPTIDES - Thrombopoietic compositions are provided comprising tyrosyl tRNA synthetase polypeptides, including truncations and/or variants thereof. Also provided are methods of using such compositions in the treatment of conditions that benefit from increased thrombopoiesis, such as thrombocytopenia. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100166755 | ANTI-EGFR ANTIBODIES - The present invention encompasses EGFR specific monoclonal antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof. These antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, have high affinity for EGFR, inhibit the activation of EGFR, and are useful for the treatment of EGFR mediated cancers. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110081355 | Methods of Diagnosing and Treating Conditions Using Anti-IL-6 Antibodies - Anti-IL-6 antibodies are used to treat IL-6 related conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteolysis, aseptic loosening of orthopedic implants, systemic lupus erythematosus, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and renal cell carcinoma. | 04-07-2011 |
