Abstract: The present invention provides immunoglobulins specific for p53BP2 ligand polypeptides. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a variant of an immunoglobulin variable domain, wherein the immunoglobulin variable domain contains (A) at least one CDR region and (B) framework regions flanking the CDR, and the variant includes: (a) the CDR region having added or substituted therein at least one binding sequence, and (b) the flaking framework regions, wherein the binding sequence is heterologous to the CDR and the binding sequence is derived from a human ligand having immunogenic properties relevant to human lung cancer. In a preferred embodiment, the binding sequence is an antigenic sequence. In a further preferred embodiment, the variant contains a variable domain lacking an intrachain disulfide bond.

Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments of antibodies, fusion polypeptides and analogs that preferentially bind cell-associated CA 125/O772P polypeptides relative to shed CA 125/O772P polypeptides. The present invention further provides methods of preventing, managing, treating or ameliorating one or more symptoms associated with a CA 125/O772P-related disorder. In particular, the present invention provides methods of preventing, managing, treating, or ameliorating one or more symptoms associated with a cell proliferative disorder, such as cancer, e.g., ovarian cancer. The present invention still further provides methods for diagnosing a CA 125/O772P-related disorder or predisposition to developing such a disorder, as well as methods for identifying antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments of antibodies, that preferentially bind cell-associated CA 125/O772P polypeptides relative to shed CA 125/O772P polypeptides.
