Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing and methods of treating hepatocellular carcinoma in a subject. The invention also relates to antagonists of PLVAP proteins, such as antibodies that specifically bind PLVAP proteins, as well as compositions and kits comprising antagonists of PLVAP proteins. The invention further relates to humanized antibodies that specifically bind PLVAP protein.
Abstract: The invention provides, inter alia, conjugates comprising a coagulating agent conjugated to an antibody, where the antibody specifically binds an extracellular domain epitope of a mammalian PLVAP protein. These agents specifically target HCC tumors and treat the HCC. The invention also provides methods of using these conjugates, such as methods of treating HCC by administering the conjugates provided by the invention or compositions provided by the invention, such as pharmaceutical compositions.
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing, and methods of treating, hepatocellular carcinoma in a subject. The invention also relates to polypeptide antagonists of PLVAP proteins, including humanized and chimeric antibodies that specifically bind PLVAP proteins, as well as compositions and kits comprising such polypeptide antagonists.
