Publication number: 20240117073Abstract: The present invention relates to specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to amplified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and to the de2-7 EGFR truncation of the EGFR. In particular, the epitope recognized by the specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, is enhanced or evident upon aberrant post-translational modification. These specific binding members are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The binding members of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Lloyd J. Old, Terrance Grant Johns, Con Panousis, Andrew M. Scott, Christoph Renner, Gerd Ritter, Achim Jungbluth, Elisabeth Stockert, Vincent Peter Collins, Webster K. Cavenee, Huei-Jen Su Huang, Antony Wilks Burgess, Edouard C. Nice, Anne Murray, George Mark

Patent number: 10385138Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the membrane transporter NaPi2b (SLC34A2) as a target for therapy, including immunotherapy, and particularly cancer therapy. The SLC34A2 epitope peptide encompassing amino acids 312-340 of SLC34A2 has been identified as an ovarian cancer epitope using the monoclonal antibody MX35. The invention also relates to the use of SLC34A2 and particularly SLC34A2 peptides in generating antibodies which have anti-tumor or anti-cancer activity or in stimulating an immunological response. The invention further relates to antibodies specifically directed against NaPi2b (SLC34A2) and the SLC34A2 peptide(s), including veneered, chimeric, single chain and humanized antibodies. Methods for generating an immune response and for treatment of tumors and cancer are also provided. Assays for screening and identifying compounds directed against SLC34A2, including the SLC34A2 epitope peptide, and additional antibodies are provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignees: Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research Ltd., Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute, Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics National Academy of Science of UkraineInventors: Gerd Ritter, Beatrice Yin, Anne Murray, George Mark, Lloyd J.
