Antibodies and antigen binding fragments that specifically bind to IL-7Rα are disclosed. Nucleic acids encoding the antibodies and antigen binding fragments, and vectors including the nucleic acid molecules are also provided. Methods for detecting a ca cancer or a cell that expresses IL-7Rα using the antibodies and antigen binding fragments are disclosed, as is the use of the antibodies and antigen binding fragments to prevent and/or treat a subject with a cancer that expresses IL-7Rα, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Il-7R-alpha specific antibodies for treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia

This disclosure provides novel anionic amphiphilic &#x3b2;-hairpin peptides that self-assemble under appropriate conditions to form a reversible gel-sol hydrogel that can be used, for example, to readily deliver protein therapeutics and cells by injection to a target location in a subject.
