Abstract: The present invention provides novel proteins and peptides from the receptor binding region of human Growth Arrest Specific Gene 6 (Gas6) and antibodies, including specified portions or variants, specific for at least one such Gas6 peptide or fragment thereof. The aforesaid peptides can be used to generate human, primate, rodent, mammalian, chimeric, humanized and/or CDR-grafted anti-Gas6 antibodies. The invention also provides for the nucleic acids encoding such peptides and anti-Gas6 antibodies, complementary nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, and methods of making and using thereof, including therapeutic formulations, administration and devices. Fifteen novel peptide sequences from the Gas6 G domain that are implicated in Gas6 interactions with its receptors are identified, isolated, and synthesized so as to allow generation of anti-Gas6 antibodies. The peptide sequences include three ESTs that encompass regions predicted to contribute to receptor binding or that can raise anti-Gas6 antibodies.

Abstract: Methods of preparing targeting ligand bound avidin-lipid vesicles for use in preparing a targeted, therapeutic liposome composition are disclosed. Each vesicle comprises an avidin molecule coupled to the polymer-conjugated biotin which retains multiple free site biotin-binding sites such that the vesicle may be used to further couple a biotinylated-targeting ligand.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition including an isolated or recombinant peptide component that has osteogenic cell proliferative activity. The peptide, which promotes proliferation of osteoblasts, is useful for treatment of fractures, as a filler in deficient sites of bone, for inhibition of decrease in bone substance related to osteoporosis and periodontic diseases, and for prevention of fractures associated with osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The peptide, or cells that have been genetically engineered to produce the peptide, can be combined with a bone-compatible matrix to facilitate slow release of the peptide to a treatment site and/or provide a structure for developing bone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to at least one novel anti-TNF antibodies, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one anti-TNF antibody, TNF, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof, including therapeutic compositions, methods and devices.

Abstract: Methods for generating monoclonal antibodies in Th1-biased rodents are disclosed. The monoclonal antibodies are useful as therapeutic agents, diagnostic agents or research reagents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating at least one renal cell carcinoma related condition or pathology, including therapeutic compositions, methods and devices, using TNF antagonists.

Abstract: The invention provides biologically active erythropoietin (EPO) conjugate compositions wherein EPO is covalently conjugated to a non-antigenic hydrophilic polymer covalently linked to an organic molecule that increases the circulating serum half-life of the composition. The invention thus relates to EPO derivatives described by the formula EPO-(X-Y)N where EPO is erythropoietin or its pharmaceutical acceptable derivatives having biological properties of causing bone marrow cells to increase production of reticulocytes and red blood cells, X is PEG or other water soluble polymers, Y is an organic molecule that increases the circulating half-life of the construct more than the PEG alone and N is an integer from 1 to 15. Other molecules may be included between EPO and X and between X and Y to provide the proper functionality for coupling or valency.

Abstract: The present invention relates to at least one novel human hinge core mimetibody or specified portion or variant, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one hinge core mimetibody or specified portion or variant, hinge core mimetibody or specified portion or variants, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof, including therapeutic compositions, methods and devices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to at least one novel human EPO mimetic hinge core mimetibody or specified portion or variant, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one EPO mimetic hinge core mimetibody or specified portion or variant, EPO mimetic hinge core mimetibody or specified portion or variants, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof, including therapeutic compositions, methods and devices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating at least one IL-13 related condition or pathology, including therapeutic compositions, formulations, methods and devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of directing selection of biological therapeutic molecules to specific functional domains of the target biologic molecule. Selection is directed by the use of closely related molecules, where one is a decoy and the other contains the targeted domain or epitope. The invention is based on the use of physical data, which may be combined with derived data, to ascertain that the decoy and the target differ only in the specific functional domain or epitope where the binding will be directed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to at least one novel human EPO mimetic CH1 deleted mimetibody or specified portion or variant, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one EPO mimetic CH1 deleted mimetibody or specified portion or variant, CH1 deleted mimetibody or specified portion or variants, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof, including therapeutic compositions, methods and devices.
