  • Publication number: 20200255537
    Abstract: This invention provides a method that allows selection of antibodies against cells (e.g., tumor cells) in situ using laser capture microdissection. By restricting antibody selection to binders of internalizing epitopes, a panel of phage antibodies was generated that targets clinically represented prostate cancer antigens.

  • Publication number: 20190218298
    Abstract: Provided is an antibody that specifically binds human ?v?? and blocks binding of TGFp peptide to ?v?8, wherein the antibody binds to the specificity determining loop (SDL) of human ?8. In some embodiments, the antibody further binds to one, two, or all three of the human av-head domain, the al helix of human ?8, or the al helix of human ?8. In some embodiments, the antibody is humanized or chimeric. In some embodiments, the antibody is linked to a detectable label. Also provided is a method of enhancing an immune response in a human individual, comprising administering a sufficient amount of the antibody to the individual, thereby enhancing an immune response. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the anti-?v?? antibodies or antigen-binding molecules thereof.
