20100021473Bispecific Ligands With Binding Specificity to Cell Surface Targets and Methods of Use Therefor - Disclosed are ligands comprising a first polypeptide domain having a binding site with binding specificity for a first cell surface target and a second polypeptide domain having a binding site for a second cell surface target, wherein each target are different and on the same cell. In some embodiments, the ligands described further comprise a toxin. In other embodiments, the ligands further comprise half-life extending moieties. Also disclosed are methods of using these ligands. In particular, the use of these ligands for cancer therapy is described.01-28-2010
20100247515POLYPEPTIDES, 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
20100254972METHODS 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
20100260763POLYPEPTIDES, 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
20100266616POLYPEPTIDES, 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
20110086019POLYPEPTIDES, 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
20110159003Ligands 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

20110071046MATRIX SCREENING METHOD - The invention concerns a method which can be used to screen two or more repertoires of molecules against one another and/or to create combinatorial repertoires by combining two or more repertoires. In particular, the invention relates to a method whereby two repertoires of molecules can be screened such that all members of the first repertoire are tested against all members of the second repertoire for functional interactions. Furthermore, the invention relates to the creation and screening of antibody repertoires by combining a repertoire of heavy chains with a repertoire of light chains such that antibodies formed by the all combinations of heavy and light chains can be screened against one or more target ligands.03-24-2011
