The present invention is directed to antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for ACTH. Embodiments of this invention relate to the binding fragments of antibodies described herein, comprising the sequences of the V, Vand/or CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them. The invention also contemplates anti-ACTH antibodies and binding fragments thereof conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. The invention further contemplates methods of making said anti-ACTH antibodies and binding fragments thereof. Embodiments of the invention also pertain to the use of anti-ACTH antibodies and binding fragments thereof for the diagnosis, assessment, prevention and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with ACTH, such as CAH, FGD, Cushing's Disease, Cushing's Syndrome, Parkinson's disease, obesity, diabetes, sleep disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, cancer, muscle atrophy, hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, cognitive dysfunction, Alzheimer's disease, galactorrhea, stress related conditions, cardiac conditions, metabolic syndrome, hyperaldosteronism, Conn's syndrome and familial hyperaldosteronism.

Humanized anti-ACTH antibodies and use thereof

The present invention is directed to antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for ACTH. Another embodiment of this invention relates to the antibodies binding fragments thereof described herein, comprising the sequences of the V, Vand/or CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them. The invention also contemplates conjugates of anti-ACTH antibodies and binding fragments thereof conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. The invention further contemplates methods of making said anti-ACTH antibodies and binding fragments thereof. Embodiments of the invention also pertain to the use of anti-ACTH antibodies and binding fragments thereof for the diagnosis, assessment, prevention and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with ACTH, such as Cushing's Disease, Cushing's Syndrome, Parkinson's disease, obesity, diabetes, sleep disorders depression, anxiety disorders, cancer, muscle atrophy, hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, cognitive dysfunction, Alzheimer's disease, galactorrhea, stress related conditions, cardiac conditions, metabolic syndrome, hyperaldosteronism, Conn's syndrome and familial hyperaldosteronism.

Anti-ACTH antibodies and use thereof

The present invention is directed to antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for PCSK9. Another embodiment of this invention relates to the antibodies described herein, and binding fragments thereof, comprising the sequences of the V, Vand CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them. The invention also contemplates conjugates of anti-PCSK9 antibodies and binding fragments thereof conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. The invention also contemplates methods of making said anti-PCSK9 antibodies and binding fragments thereof. Embodiments of the invention also pertain to the use of anti-PCSK9 antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, for the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with PCSK9.

Anti-PCSK9 antibodies and use thereof

The present invention is directed to antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for HGF. Another embodiment of this invention relates to the antibodies described herein, and binding fragments thereof, comprising the sequences of the V, Vand CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them. The invention also contemplates conjugates of anti-HGF antibodies and binding fragments thereof conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. The invention also contemplates methods of making said anti-HGF antibodies and binding fragments thereof. Embodiments of the invention also pertain to the use of anti-HGF antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, for the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with HGF.

Antibodies to HGF and compositions containing

The present invention is directed to therapeutic methods using IL-6 antagonists such as anti-IL-6 antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for IL-6 to prevent or treat mucositis (e.g., oral mucositis) including persons on a treatment regimen with a drug or chemotherapy and/or radiation for cancer (e.g., head and neck cancer) that is associated with increased risk of mucositis, including oral mucositis.

Anti-IL-6 antibodies for the treatment of oral mucositis

The present invention is directed to antibodies and fragments thereof (especially chimeric and humanized) having binding specificity for HGF and their use in therapy and diagnosis. These antibodies inhibit or block HGF-associated activities including HGF's effects on cell proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis and fibrosis. Particularly the antibodies may be used as a monotherapy or in combination therapies in treating cancer, other proliferative disorders and other conditions wherein inhibition of HGF and/or the HGF/HGF-R (c-met) interaction is desired.
