Abstract: DII4-binding molecules, preferably DII4-binding immunoglobulin single variable domains like VHHs and VHs, pharmaceutical compositions containing same and their use in the treatment of diseases that are associated with DII4-mediated effects on angiogenesis. Bispecific DII4-binding molecules that also bind to VEGF-A. Nucleic acids encoding DII4-binding molecules, host cells and methods for preparing same.

Abstract: Bispecific binding molecules, in particular immunoglobulin single variable domains such as VHHs and domain antibodies, comprising a VEGF-binding component and a Dll4-binding component in one molecule. Pharmaceutical compositions containing same and their use in the treatment of diseases that are associated with VEGF- and Dll4-mediated effects on angiogenesis. Nucleic acids encoding the bispecific binding molecules, host cells and methods for preparing same.

Abstract: Chimeric and humanized anti-CD37 antibodies and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are useful for the treatment of B cell malignancies and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that involve B cells in their pathology.

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: Antibody molecules, in particular fully human antibodies that bind to human IGF-1 and cross-react with IGF-2 such that binding of IGF-1 and IGF-2 to the IGF-1 receptor is prevented and IGF-1 receptor-mediated signaling is inhibited. The antibodies do not bind to insulin and thus do not affect the mitogenic properties of insulin that are mediated by its binding to the insulin receptors. The antibodies are useful for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, in particular cancer.

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: Molecules comprising the antigen-binding portion of antibodies that block constitutive and/or ligand-dependent activation of a receptor protein tyrosine kinase, such as fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), are found through screening methods, where a soluble dimeric form of a receptor protein tyrosine kinase is used as target for screening a library of antibody fragments displayed on the surface of bacteriophage. The molecules of the present invention which block constitutive activation can be administered to treat or inhibit skeletal dysplasia, craniosynostosis disorders, cell proliferative diseases or disorders, or tumor progression associated with the constitutive activation of a receptor protein tyrosine kinase.
