Abstract: The invention provides a grafted antibody, or functional fragment thereof, comprising one or more complementarity determining regions (CDRs) having at least one amino acid substitution in one or more CDRs of a heavy chain CDR, where the grafted antibody or functional fragment thereof has specific binding activity for a cryptic collagen epitope. The invention also provides methods of using an antibody having specific binding activity for a cryptic collagen epitope, including methods of inhibiting angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis.

Abstract: The invention provides peptide antagonists, such as synthetic collagen peptides. The invention provides antibody antagonists, or functional fragments thereof, that preferentially bind to denatured extracellular matrix components. It additionally provides methods for using the antagonists for inhibiting angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, and other tumor developmental processes, including cell migration, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and tumor growth and for treating angiogenesis-dependent conditions or collagen-dependent conditions. The application also provides for use of the antagonists as a vaccine for inducing an immune response, immune focusing and induction of antibody responses.
