The invention provides anti-human pro-epiregulin and anti-human amphiregulin antibodies and methods of using the same. Anti-EREG antibodies raised against amino acids 148-169 and 156-169 of the human EREG protein, and anti-AREG antibodies raised against amino acids 238-252 of the human AREG protein are disclosed. Methods of using these antibodies to detect EREG and AREG and kits and other products for performing such methods are also disclosed.

Materials and methods for performing histochemical assays for human pro-epiregulin and amphiregulin

A method for cloning a full length coding sequence for a light chain of a rabbit monoclonal antibody is provided. In some embodiments, this method may involve: fusing a B cell from a rabbit having a B4 allotype with a 240E cell or a derivative thereof to produce a hybridoma, wherein the B cell and the hybridoma produce a monoclonal antibody; making cDNA from the hybridoma; amplifying from the cDNA a full length coding sequence for the light chain of a monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma using: a forward primer that hybridizes to a site in SEQ ID NO: 10, and a reverse primer having a 3' end of sequence CTARCAGTCX (SEQ ID NO: 11), wherein R is A or G and X is A, AC, ACC or ACCC; and cloning the amplified sequence into an expression vector to produce a first plasmid.

Method for producing a recombinant allotypespecific rabbit monoclonal antibody

Antibodies, compositions, systems, and methods for detecting C4.4a, for example immunohistochemistry methods for detecting C4.4a using a C4.4a antibody. The antibody may be obtained by immunizing a host with a C4.4a protein such as a peptide downstream of the signal peptide. The antibodies may be adapted to detect the uPAR-like domain 1 and uPAR-like domain 2. Also featured are methods for diagnosing C4.4a-associated tumors using C4.4a antibodies disclosed herein.

Antibodies, compositions, and immunohistochemistry methods for detecting C4.4a

Provided herein are B7-H3 antibodies, fragments of such antibodies, and compositions comprising the same. The antibodies, antibody fragments and compositions are useful in a number of analytical methods, including immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical detection and analysis of B7-H3. Also provided herein are isolated peptides and fusion proteins containing immunogenic determinants for said B7-H3 antibodies, animals immunized with the peptides and fusion proteins, isolated B cells obtained from the animals, and hybridomas made from the isolated B cells.

Anti-B7-H3 antibodies and diagnostic uses thereof

The present application discloses anti-GPNMB antibodies and methods of using the same. The antibodies are selected to bind to an epitope located in a C-terminal fragment of the protein and are selected for specificity in immunohistochemical assays. The antibodies are useful in, for example, immunohistochemical methods of detecting GPNMB-positive cells in tumors.

Anti-GPNMB antibodies and diagnostic uses thereof

The invention provides antibodies that bind specifically to human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), nucleic acids encoding the same, and methods of using the same. The antibodies are capable of binding to a sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 and specifically bind to human IDO1 in formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues. The antibodies are useful in a number of different analytical techniques, including immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunocytochemistry (ICC).

Anti-indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 antibodies and diagnostic uses thereof

Provided herein are PD-L1 antibodies and methods for using the same for detecting human PD-L1 protein in biological samples. The PD-L1 antibodies and methods may be useful for diagnosing a medical condition associated with elevated PD-L1 levels (e.g., cancer) in subjects in need thereof and in evaluating the efficacy of a particular therapeutic regime in a subject diagnosed as having a PD-L1-related medical condition, among other uses.

PD-L1 antibodies and uses thereof

The invention provides a method for identifying positions of an antibody that can be modified without significantly reducing the binding activity of the antibody. In many embodiments, the method involves identifying a substitutable position in a parent antibody by comparing its amino acid sequence to the amino acid sequences of a number of related antibodies that each bind to the same antigen as the parent antibody. The amino acid at the substitutable position may be substituted for a different amino acid without significantly affecting the activity of the antibody. The subject methods may be employed to change the amino acid sequence of a CDR without significantly reducing the affinity of the antibody of the antibody, in humanization methods, or in other antibody engineering methods. The invention finds use in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and research applications.

Methods for screening and engineering antibodies

Provided herein are B7-H3 antibodies, fragments of such antibodies, and compositions comprising the same. The antibodies, antibody fragments and compositions are useful in a number of analytical methods, including immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical detection and analysis of B7-H3. Also provided herein are isolated peptides, compositions, and fusion proteins containing immunogenic determinants for said B7-H3 antibodies, animals immunized with the peptides and fusion proteins, isolated B cells obtained from the animals, and hybridomas made from the isolated B cells.

The invention provides antibodies that bind specifically to human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), and methods of using the same.

The PD-L1 antibodies and antigen binding fragments are also useful in evaluating the efficacy of a particular therapeutic regime in a subject diagnosed as having a PD-L1-related medical condition.

The invention provides monoclonal antibodies that neutralize TNF&#x3b1; activity. The monoclonal antibodies may be rabbit monoclonal antibodies or monoclonal antibodies having CDR regions derived from those rabbit monoclonal antibodies. In certain embodiments, the monoclonal antibodies may be humanized. Methods of using the subject antibodies to inhibit TNF&#x3b1; activity, methods of treatment using those antibodies and kits containing the same are also provided. The invention finds use in a variety of research and medical applications.
