  • Publication number: 20220195052
    Abstract: Anti-integrin antibodies are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of using the antibodies to treat or prevent disorders such as fibrotic diseases, cancer, ophthalmology disorders, and NAFLD. Further disclosed are methods of selecting an antibody that specifically binds to ?v?{umlaut over (í)}, or that binds to ?v?{umlaut over (í)} and ?v?ó, or that binds to one or more members of the RGD sub-family of integrins.

  • Publication number: 20220089745
    Abstract: Antibodies and antigen-binding antibody fragments that bind to GPIIb/IIIa and chimeric polypeptides comprising these binding molecules are disclosed. Some of these antibodies and antigen-binding antibody fragments preferentially bind GPIIb/IIIa on activated platelets while others do not show a preference for binding GPIIb/IIIa on resting versus activated platelets. Some of these antibodies and antibody fragments do not inhibit the interaction of GPIIb/IIIa with fibrinogen, while some others do. The disclosed antibodies do not induce platelet activation. Some of these antibodies and antigen-binding antibody fragments are useful in targeting therapeutic agents such as dotting factors to platelets while others are useful in reducing platelet aggregation and/or thrombus formation.

  • Publication number: 20210395360
    Abstract: Endogenous Sp35 is a negative regulator for neuronal survival, axon regeneration, oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Molecules that block endogenous Sp35 function, such anti-Sp35 antibodies can be used as therapeutics for the treatment of neuron and oligodendrocyte dysfunction. The present invention provides antibodies specific for Sp35, and methods of using such antibodies as antagonists of endogenous Sp35 function. The invention further provides specific hybridoma and phage library-derived monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising these antibodies. The invention further provides methods of promoting oligodendrocyte survival and myelination in a vertebrate, comprising administering to a vertebrate in need of such treatment an effective amount of an anti-Sp35 antibody.
