Abstract: Provided herein are antigen binding proteins, e.g., human and/or monoclonal antibodies that have affinity for heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and neutralize the biological functions of this growth factor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to binding proteins that bind to HER-3 and polynucleotides encoding the same. Expression vectors and host cells comprising the same for the production of the binding protein of the invention are also provided. In addition, the invention provides compositions and methods for diagnosing and treating diseases associated with HER-3 mediated signal transduction and/or its ligand heregulin.

Abstract: Described herein are materials and methods for treating subjects having a HER-3 associated disease, by administering a first agent that binds to HER-3, in combination with a second agent that binds and/or inhibits another member of the HER family. The first and the second agent may be a biologic, such as an antigen-binding protein, or a small molecular tyrosine kinase inhibitor, for example.

Abstract: The present invention relates to FGFR4 antibodies including fragments or derivatives thereof and the polynucleotides encoding the antibodies. Expression vectors and host cells comprising the polynucleotides are provided. Further, the invention refers to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the FGFR4 antibodies and methods for the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of disorders associated with FGFR4 expression.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the determination of the activation level of Receptor Tyrosine kinases, e.g. phosporylated HER3, for the selection of patients for disease treatment. Methods are also provided for the evaluation of the biological and pharmacodynamic effects of an active substance and/or its efficacy in disease treatment, utilizing a tissue sample from a test subject, for example tumor material or normal tissue such as skin or hair follicle. Further, methods for the treatment of HER receptor-associated diseases are disclosed.
