Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the creation and screening of non-human animal models having many of the histologic characteristics of human psoriasis. Immunocompromised host animals are injected with a purified population of CD45Rb positive cells, which are tolerant of the host major histocompatibility antigens, but are mismatched at one or more minor antigens. The injected cells are stimulated with a pro-inflammatory cytokine, e.g. IL-12, and a polyclonal activating agent. The injected animals develop a chronic skin disorder that includes histological features observed in human psoriasis, e.g. rete pegs, severe acanthosis and infiltration of Th1 cells into the dermis.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to antagonists of CS1 that bind to and neutralize at least one biological activity of CS1. The invention also includes a pharmaceutical composition comprising such antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. The present invention also provides for a method of preventing or treating disease states, including autoimmune disorders and cancer, in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering into said subject an effective amount of such antagonists.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and compositions that can be used for diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention provides chimeric and humanized antibodies that specifically recognize ?5?1 integrin, and methods for using the antibodies for reducing or inhibiting angiogenesis in a tissue. Also provided are methods of determining therapeutically acceptable doses of the antibodies and pharmaceutical compositions including the same.

Abstract: Disclosed are mammalian expression vectors for expressing simultaneous expression of immunoglobulins as both a secreted and cell surface bound form.

Abstract: The invention relates to the identification and generation of antibodies that bind to TMEFF2 proteins which are involved in cancer. Further, the invention provides for the use of these antibodies in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: Disclosed are mammalian cell surface display vectors for isolating and/or characterizing immunoglobulins and various uses thereof.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a stable liquid pharmaceutical formulation comprising a high concentration, e.g. 50 mg/ml or more, of antibody in about 20-60 mM succinate buffer or 30-70 mM histidine buffer, having pH from about pH 5.5 to about pH 6.5, about 0.01-0.1% polysorbate, and a tonicity modifier that contributes to the isotonicity of the formulation. This liquid formulation is stable at refrigerated temperature (2-8° C.) for at least 1 year, and preferably 2 years. This liquid formulation is suitable for subcutaneous injection. The preferred antibodies include Daclizumab, a humanized anti-IL-2 receptor monoclonal antibody; HAIL-12, a humanized anti-IL-12 monoclonal antibody; HuEP5C7, a humanized anti-L selectin monoclonal antibody; and Flintozumab, a humanized anti-gamma interferon monoclonal antibody.
