Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090022713ANTI-PRO87299 ANTIBODIES - The present invention relates to compositions containing a novel protein and methods of using those compositions for the diagnosis and treatment of immune related disease01-22-2009
20090081229ANTI-PRO87299 ANTIBODIES - The present invention relates to compositions containing a novel protein and methods of using those compositions for the diagnosis and treatment of immune related disease03-26-2009
20090098603POLYPEPTIDES SHARING SEQUENCE IDENTITY WITH A FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR POLYPEPTIDE AND NUCLEIC ACIDS ENCODING THE SAME - The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides having homology to the PRO533 protein and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention, and methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention. The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based on the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis and/or autocrine signaling. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act of predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. Furthermore, the compounds, compositions including antagonists and methods of the present invention are further expected to have therapeutic effect upon conditions characterized by FgF-19 modulation.04-16-2009
20090175855NOVEL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF IMMUNE RELATED DISEASES - The present invention relates to compositions containing a novel protein and methods of using those compositions for the diagnosis and treatment of immune related disease.07-09-2009
20090191184DcR3 polypeptide, A TNFR homolog - A TNFR homolog, identified as DcR3, is provided. Nucleic acid molecules encoding DcR3, chimeric molecules and antibodies to DcR3 are also provided.07-30-2009
20090285830ANTIBODIES TO LYMPHOTOXIN-ALPHA - The invention provides various antibodies that bind to lymphotoxin-α, methods for making such antibodies, compositions and articles incorporating such antibodies, and their uses in treating, for example, an autoimmune disorder. The antibodies include murine, chimeric, and humanized antibodies.11-19-2009
20100080793DcR3 polypeptide, A TNFR homolog - A TNFR homolog, identified as DcR04-01-2010
20100093556COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING AND DIAGNOSING CANCER - The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating, characterizing, and diagnosing cancer. In particular, the present invention provides gene expression profiles and signatures associated with solid tumor stem cells, as well as novel stem cell cancer markers useful for the diagnosis, characterization, prognosis and treatment of solid tumor stem cells. More particularly, the present invention identifies two profiles of cancer stem cells useful for the diagnosis, characterization, and treatment of cancer and cancer metastases. The invention also provides a variety of reagents such as stem cell gene signatures for use in the diagnosis and management of cancer.04-15-2010
20100104574Frizzled-Binding Agents and Uses Thereof - Novel anti-cancer agents, including, but not limited to, antibodies, that bind to human frizzled receptors are provided. Novel epitopes within the human frizzled receptors which are suitable as targets for anti-cancer agents are also identified. Methods of using the agents or antibodies, such as methods of using the agents or antibodies to inhibit Wnt signaling and/or inhibit tumor growth are further provided.04-29-2010
20100111958Notch-Binding Agents and Antagonists and Methods of Use Thereof - The present invention relates to Notch-binding agents and Notch antagonists and methods of using the agents and/or antagonists for treating diseases such as cancer. The present invention provides antibodies that specifically bind to a non-ligand binding region of the extracellular domain of one or more human Notch receptor, such as Notch2 and/or Notch3, and inhibit tumor growth. The present invention further provides methods of treating cancer, the methods comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds to a non-ligand binding region of the extracellular domain of a human Notch receptor protein and inhibits tumor growth.05-06-2010
20110123532Method for Making Heteromultimeric Molecules - The present invention provides methods for making heteromultimeric molecules, such as bispecific antibodies, and compositions comprising said molecules. The method includes introducing mutations in amino acids that are in contact at the interface of two polypeptides, such that the electrostatic interaction between the ion pairs is altered.05-26-2011
20110150865ANTIBODIES TO LYMPHOTOXIN-ALPHA - The invention provides various antibodies that bind to lymphotoxin-α, methods for making such antibodies, compositions and articles incorporating such antibodies, and their uses in treating, for example, an autoimmune disorder. The antibodies include murine, chimeric, and humanized antibodies.06-23-2011
