Abstract: Described are antibodies that specifically bind to the Axl protein and inhibit the interaction between Axl and the Axl-ligand, Gas6. Also disclosed are methods for the production and use of the anti-Axl antibodies.

Abstract: The use of Akt3 as a biomarker for detecting the occurrence of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a subject, and the use of Akt3 inhibitors to treat cancer is disclosed herein. Also disclosed are various methods for detecting the occurrence of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a subject by measuring Akt3 expression and/or activity.

Abstract: Antibodies which specifically bind to the Axl protein are described. Also disclosed are methods for the production and use of the anti-Axl antibodies.

Abstract: The use of PHGDH as a biomarker for detecting the occurrence of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a subject, and the use of PHGDH modulators to treat cancer is disclosed herein. Also disclosed are various methods for detecting the occurrence of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a subject by measuring PHGDH expression and/or activity.

Abstract: An Axl inhibitor and one or more immune checkpoint (activity) modulators and/or one or more oncolytic viruses, for use in the prevention, treatment or management of cancer, wherein the Axl inhibitor and the one or more immune checkpoint (activity) modulators and/or the one or more oncolytic viruses are administered concurrently, separately or sequentially; compositions containing such components in combination; and methods of treating cancer in a patient by administering such components in combination.

Abstract: Antibodies characterized by their variable sequences/CDRs which specifically bind to the Axl protein are described. Also disclosed are methods for the production and use of the anti-Axl antibodies.

Abstract: Antibodies which specifically bind to the Ax I protein are described. Also disclosed are methods for the production and use of the anti-Axl antibodies.

Abstract: The invention relates to the control of gene expression. Specifically, the invention provides compositions and methods for the production and use of recombinant nucleic acid molecules that have the ability to specifically downregulate an expressed target gene in vivo. In some aspects, the invention provides methods for producing a hairpin DNA molecule where part of the molecule is derived from an mRNA that is a target for a small interfering RNA (siRNA) derived from the hairpin. In other aspects, the invention provides synthetic hairpin adapter oligonucleotides that are used in the construction of siRNA-producing cassettes. In other aspects, the invention provides methods for testing for the presence or absence of specific inhibitory activity of an RNAi trigger molecule, and in still other aspects, the invention provides methods for identifying an active RNAi trigger molecule from a library of RNAi trigger molecules.
