Abstract: The invention relates to C2a inhibitors, which bind to C2a and block the functional activity of C2a in complement activation. The inhibitors include antibody molecules, as well as homologs, analogs and modified or derived forms thereof, including immunoglobulin fragments like Fab, F(ab?)2 and Fv, small molecules, including peptides, oligonucleotides, peptidomimetics and organic compounds. A monoclonal antibody, which bound to C2a and blocked its ability to activate complement was generated and designated 175-62. The hybridoma producing this antibody was deposited at the American Type Culture Collection, 10801 University Blvd., Manassas, Va. 20110-2209, under Accession Number PTA-1553.

Abstract: The invention concerns uses of anti-KL? agents, and detection of KL? and/or FGF19 and/or FGFR4.

Abstract: The present invention provides vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) antagonists and methods of using VEGF antagonists. VEGF antagonists contemplated by the invention include VEGF antibodies and VEGF receptor fusion proteins. Methods of treating edema and stroke using VEGF antagonists are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides anti-LRP6 antibodies and methods of using the same. A particular aspect of the invention provides for bispecific anti-LRP6 antibodies that inhibit signaling by multiple Wnt isoforms.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions of matter useful for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor in mammals and to methods of using those compositions of matter for the same.

Abstract: The invention provides anti-neuregulin1 antibodies and methods of using the antibodies in treating diseases or disorders, such as cancer. In a particular embodiment, the anti-neuregulin1 antibodies bind to both neuregulin1? and neuregulin 1? isoforms.

Abstract: The invention provides novel inhibitors of IAP that are useful as therapeutic agents for treating malignancies where the compounds having the general formula U1-M-U2 wherein M is a linking group covalently joining R2, R3, R4 or R5 of U1 to an R2, R3, R4 or R5 group of U2; U1 and U2 have the general formula (I) and G, X1, X2, R2, R3, R3?, R4, R4? and R5, are as described herein.

Abstract: A process for recovering and purifying refolded heparin binding proteins produced in heterologous host cells includes the step of incubation of the solubilized protein with a polyanionic species such as dextran sulfate.

Abstract: The invention relates to inhibitors that bind to C5 and C5a, but which do not prevent the activation of C5 and do not prevent formation of or inhibit the activity of C5b. One example of such an inhibitor molecule is the monoclonal antibody designated MAb137-26, which binds to a shared epitope of human C5 and C5a. These inhibitors may be used to inhibit the activity of C5a in treating diseases and conditions mediated by excessive or uncontrolled production of C5a. The inhibitor molecules are also useful for diagnostic detection of the presence/absence or amount of C5 or C5a.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the combination therapy of an afucosylated anti-CD20 antibody with a CD79b antibody-drug conjugate for the treatment of cancer, especially to the combination therapy of CD20 expressing cancers with an afucosylated humanized B-Ly1 antibody and a CD79b antibody-drug conjugate.

Abstract: The invention provides anti-wall teichoic acid antibodies and antibiotic conjugates thereof, and methods of using the same.

Abstract: The invention provides anti-wall teichoic acid antibodies and antibiotic conjugates thereof, and methods of using the same.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel compounds of Formula I: wherein A, Y, R1, R2 and the subscript b each has the meaning as described herein and compounds of Formula I, and stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers, solvates, metabolites, isotopes, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or prodrugs thereof. Compounds of Formula I and pharmaceutical compositions thereof are useful in the treatment of disease and disorders in which undesired or over-activation of NF-kB signaling is observed.

Abstract: Formulations comprising an anti-IL-13 antibody are provided, including pharmaceutical formulations and methods of using such formulations.

Abstract: Process methods for making the dual mTOR/PI3K inhibitor GDC-0980, named as (S)-1-(4-((2-(2-aminopyrimidin-5-yl)-7-methyl-4-morpholinothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)-2-hydroxypropan-1-one, having the structure: and stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for improving the treatment effect of a chemotherapy regimen of a patient suffering from HER2 positive breast cancer, in particular locally recurrent or metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer, by adding bevacizumab (Avastin®) to a chemotherapy regimen by determining the expression level, in particular the blood plasma expression level, of VEGFA and/or VEGFR2 relative to control levels of patients diagnosed with HER2 positive breast cancer, in particular locally recurrent or metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. The present invention also provides for methods for assessing the sensitivity or responsiveness of a patient to bevacizumab (Avastin®) in combination with a chemotherapy regimen, by determining the expression level, in particular the blood plasma expression level, of VEGFA and/or VEGFR2 relative to control levels in patients diagnosed with HER2 positive breast cancer, in particular locally recurrent or metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer.

Abstract: The present invention concerns polypeptides comprising a variant Fc region. More particularly, the present invention concerns Fc region-containing polypeptides that have altered effector function as a consequence of one or more amino acid modifications in the Fc region thereof.
