  • Publication number: 20150071937
    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.

  • Patent number: 8974792
    Abstract: This invention provides novel erbB2-binding internalizing antibodies. The antibodies, designated F5 and C1, specifically bind to c-erbB2 antigen and, upon binding, are readily internalized into the cell bearing the c-erbB2 marker. Chimeric molecules comprising the F5 and/or C1 antibodies attached to one or more effector molecules are also provided.

    Inventors: James D. Marks, Marie Alix Poul
  • Publication number: 20150030600
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to botulinum neurotoxins (e.g., BoNT/A, BoNT/B, BoNT/C, BoNT/D, BoNT/E, BoNT/F, BoNT/G, etc.) and the epitopes bound by those antibodies. The antibodies and derivatives thereof that specifically bind to the neutralizing epitopes provided herein can be used to neutralize botulinum neurotoxin and are therefore also useful in the treatment of botulism.
