Abstract: A process for purifying an antibody is provided. In this process, a mixture containing the antibody and a contaminant is subjected to low pH hydrophobic interaction chromatography (LPHIC) at low salt concentration. The antibody is eluted from the column in the fraction which does not bind thereto. This process can be preceded and followed by other purification steps.

Abstract: Humanized anti-TGF-beta antibodies are provided, as well as methods for their preparation and use, including methods for treating TGF-beta disorders, for example, cancer. Also provided are articles of manufacture designed for various uses that contain the humanized antibodies.

Abstract: The present invention concerns antibodies to C3b and the prevention and treatment of complement-associated disorder using such antibodies.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a recently discovered macrophage specific receptor, CRIg, and its use in the prevention and treatment of complement-associated disorders, including complement-associated eye conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV).

Abstract: The invention concerns the prevention and treatment of complement-associated eye conditions, such as choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), by administration of Factor D antagonists.

Abstract: The invention includes antibodies that provide superior anti-coagulant activity by binding native human TF with high affinity and specificity. Antibodies of the invention can effectively inhibit blood coagulation in vivo. Antibodies of the invention can bind native human TF, either alone or present in a TF:FVIIa complex, effectively preventing factor X or FIX binding to TF or that complex, and thereby reducing blood coagulation. Preferred antibodies of the invention specifically bind a conformational epitope predominant to native human TF, which epitope provides an unexpectedly strong antibody binding site. Also provided are humanized antibodies and fragments thereof that bind to the TF.

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

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns methods of crystallization and/or concentration of antibody or antibody fragments. The methods comprise contacting an antibody or antibody fragment with a solution comprising a salt of a divalent cation. Crystals and/or protein gels of antibody or antibody fragments are useful in compositions and formulations.

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 present invention relates generally to the fields of molecular biology and growth factor regulation. More specifically, the invention concerns modulators of hepatocyte growth factor activator function, and the identification and uses of said modulators.

Abstract: The present invention relates to agonist antibodies that specifically bind to Notch 3 and activate signaling. The present invention includes antibodies binding to an epitope comprising the first Lin12 domain. The present invention also includes uses of these antibodies to treat or prevent Notch 3 related diseases or disorders.

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 various antibodies that bind to lymphotoxin-?, methods for making such antibodies, compositions and articles incorporating such antibodies, and their uses in treating, for example, an autoimmune disorder. The antibodies include murine, chimeric, and humanized antibodies.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the generation and characterization of neutralizing anti-IFN-? monoclonal antibodies with broad reactivity against various IFN-? subtypes. The invention further relates to the use of such anti-IFN-? antibodies in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with increased expression of IFN-?, in particular, autoimmune disorders such as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides having homology to the PRO533 protein and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention, and methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention. The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based on the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis and/or autocrine signaling.

Abstract: This invention concerns in general treatment of diseases and pathological conditions with anti-VEGF antibodies. More specifically, the invention concerns the treatment of human patients susceptible to or diagnosed with cancer using an anti-VEGF antibody, preferably in combination with one or more additional anti-tumor therapeutic agents for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions comprising a novel stabilized monovalent antibody fragment.

Abstract: The invention provides anti-EGFL7 antibodies, and compositions comprising and methods of using these antibodies.
