Abstract: The present invention relates to mammalian antibodies, designated 12B1 and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR), preferably human IGF-IR. Also included are chimeric, bispecific, derivatized, single chain antibodies derived from the antibodies disclosed herein. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the mammalian antibodies as well as methods of use thereof are also disclosed. Also included are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies and methods of using the antibodies and compositions thereof for treatment and diagnosis of pathological hyperproliferative oncogenic disorders associated with expression of IGF-1R.

Abstract: The present invention provides an isolated mammalian leukotriene receptor, isolated or recombinant nucleic acids and recombinant vectors encoding the same, host cells comprising the nucleic acids and vectors, and methods of making the receptor using the host cells. This invention further provides antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof which specifically bind to the receptor and are useful for treating medical conditions caused or mediated by leukotriene. Also provided are screening methods for identifying specific agonists and antagonists of the mammalian leukotriene receptor.
