Disclosed herein are antibodies against GPR49 and uses of such antibodies. The antibodies can be monoclonal, humanized, or fully human antibodies against GPR49, hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such antibodies, nucleic acids and vectors comprising nucleic acids encoding for such antibodies, and methods of blocking cancer stem cell growth with such antibodies.

Methods of blocking cancer stem cell growth

Described herein are antibodies against GPR49 and uses of such antibodies. Various aspects relate to monoclonal, humanized, or fully human antibodies against GPR49, hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such antibodies, nucleic acids and vectors comprising nucleic acids encoding for such antibodies, and methods of treating cancer with such antibodies.

Methods of inhibiting growth of a colon cancer tumor in a subject by administering monoclonal antibodies to G protein-coupled receptor 49 (GPR49)

Endogenous LINGO-1 is a negative regulator for neuronal survival, axon regeneration, oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Molecules that block endogenous LINGO-1 function, such anti-LINGO-1 antibodies can be used as therapeutics for the treatment of neuron and oligodendrocyte dysfunction. The present invention provides antibodies specific for LINGO-1, and methods of using such antibodies as antagonists of endogenous LINGO-1 function. The invention further provides specific hybridoma and phage library-derived monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising these antibodies. The invention further provides methods of promoting oligodendrocyte survival and myelination in a vertebrate, comprising administering to a vertebrate in need of such treatment an effective amount of an anti-LINGO-1 antibody.

Compositions comprising antibodies to LINGO or fragments thereof

Described herein are to antibodies against GPR49 and uses of such antibodies. Various aspects relate to monoclonal, humanized, or fully human antibodies against GPR49, hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such antibodies, nucleic acids and vectors comprising nucleic acids encoding for such antibodies.

Anti-GPR49 monoclonal antibodies

Methods of inhibiting solid tumor growth by administering GPR49 antibodies

Described herein are antibodies against GPR49 and uses of such antibodies. Various aspects relate to monoclonal, humanized, or fully human antibodies against GPR49, hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such antibodies, nucleic acids and vectors comprising nucleic acids encoding for such antibodies.

Methods of treating cancer by administering anti-GPR49 antibodies

Endogenous Sp35 is a negative regulator for neuronal survival, axon regeneration, oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination (Negative Regulator). Molecules that block endogenous Sp35 function, such anti-Sp35 antibodies can be used as therapeutics for the treatment of neuron and oligodendrocyte dysfunction. The present invention provides antibodies specific for Sp35, and methods of using such antibodies as antagonists of endogenous Sp35 function. The invention further provides specific hybridoma and phage library-derived monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising these antibodies. The invention further provides methods of promoting oligodendrocyte survival and myelination in a vertebrate, comprising administering to a vertebrate in need of such treatment an effective amount of an anti-Sp35 antibody.

Sp35 antibodies and uses thereof

LIGHT-targeting molecules (e.g., LIGHT fusion molecules), anti-HER2 antibody molecules, compositions, e.g., pharmaceutical compositions thereof, are disclosed. Methods of using these molecules to treat, prevent and/or diagnose hyperproliferative, e.g., neoplastic, diseases or conditions, including, but not limited to, cancer and metastasis are also provided.

SP35 antibodies and uses thereof

Composition comprising antibodies to LINGO or fragments thereof

The invention relates to antibodies which bind to insulin like growth factor receptor-1 (IGF-1R) and uses thereof, in particular in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Specific human and murine monoclonal antibodies which inhibit IGF-1R-mediated pro-survival and tumor proliferation pathways, and variants, fragments, and derivatives thereof are provided. Also provided are specific human and murine monoclonal antibodies which block the ability of the ligands, insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) to bind to IGF-1R, as well as fragments, variants and derivatives of such antibodies. The invention also includes polynucleotides encoding the above antibodies or fragments, variants or derivatives thereof, as well as vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further includes methods of diagnosing and treating cancer using antibodies of the invention.

Anti-IGR-1R antibodies and uses thereof

The present invention relates to improved antibodies against tumor surface antigens and their use in the treatment of tumors. Of particular interest are highly stable, humanized, high affinity antibodies against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), especially the antibody we have termed sm3E, which is derived from the scFv antibody MFE-23. Such antibodies have the potential for improved therapeutic efficacy.
