Abstract: Provided are humanized antibodies that selectively bind to and inhibit activated protein C without binding to or inhibiting unactivated protein C. Methods of treatment employing these antibodies are described herein.

Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies, antigen binding portions, and derivatives thereof that are capable of binding tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF?); nucleic acids encoding the antibodies, antigen binding portions, and derivatives thereof, including complementary nucleic acids; vectors; and host cells containing the nucleic acids.

Abstract: Isolated monoclonal antibodies that bind human tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) are provided. Isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding monoclonal antibodies that bind TFPI are also contemplated. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the anti-TFPI monoclonal antibodies and methods of treating deficiencies or defects in coagulation by administration of the antibodies are also provided. Methods of producing the antibodies are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant antigen-binding regions and antibodies and functional fragments containing such antigen-binding regions that are specific for the membrane-anchored, 29 kDa C4.4a polypeptide, which is over expressed in several tumors, e.g. lung, colorectal, pancreas, prostate, renal and breast cancer. These antibodies, accordingly, can be used to treat these and other disorders and conditions. Antibodies of the invention also can be used in the diagnostics field, as well as for further investigating the role of C4.4a in the progression of disorders associated with cancer. The invention also provides nucleic acid sequences encoding the foregoing antibodies, vectors containing the same, pharmaceutical compositions and kits with instructions for use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides comprising protease variants of wild type human neprilysin having an altered specificity and/or activity. In particular the present invention relates to polypeptides comprising protease variants derived from human neprilysin having an increased specificity and/or activity against certain substrates, in particular against amyloid beta.

Abstract: A process for generating sequence-specific proteases by screening-based directed evolution is disclosed. The use of the process provides proteases recognizing and cleaving user-definable amino-acid sequences with high sequence-specificity. Proteases obtainable by the process can be used in a variety of medical, diagnostic and industrial applications.

Abstract: The present invention provides variants of serine proteases of the S1 class with altered sensitivity to one or more activity-modulating substances. A method for the generation of such proteases is disclosed, comprising the provision of a protease library encoding polynucleotide sequences, expression of the enzymes, screening of the library in the presence of one or several activity-modulating substances, selection of variants with altered sensitivity to one or several activity-modulating substances and isolation of those polynucleotide sequences that encode for the selected variants.
