  • Publication number: 20160312383
    Abstract: The present invention relates to screening methods and, in particular, to methods of screening anti-ligand libraries for identifying anti-ligands specific for differentially and/or infrequently expressed ligands. The method comprises the steps of providing a library of anti-ligands; providing a first subtractor ligand; providing a second target ligand; determining the amount of the first and second target ligands using one or more equations derived from the universal law of mass action; providing the determined amount of a first subtractor ligand; providing the determined amount of a second target ligand: providing separation means capable of use to isolate anti-ligand bound to the second target ligand from anti-ligand bound to the first subtractor ligand; exposing the library of to the first and second target ligands to permit binding of anti-ligands to ligands; and using the separation means to isolate the anti-ligand bound to second target ligand.

  • Publication number: 20130251706
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating a patient having target cells that express FcyRIIb, the method comprising administering (i) an antibody molecule that specifically binds a surface antigen of the target cell, which antibody molecule has an Fc domain capable of binding FcyRIIb; in combination with (ii) an agent that prevents or reduces binding between the Fc domain of the antibody molecule and FcyRIIb; characterized in that the patient is selected on the basis that their target cells express an elevated level of FcyRIIb.
