  • Patent number: 9777065
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to anti-FZD10 antibodies and to methods of using anti-FZD10 antibodies. In particular, the anti-FZD10 antibodies described herein are useful for altering one or more of survival, replication, differentiation and epithelial-to-mesenchymal cell transition of embryonic stem cells and/or for the treatment of diseases, such as a variety of cancers, associated with expression of FZD10, including as stand-alone therapies and in combination therapies with other agents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2017
    Assignee: Omeros Corporation
    Inventors: W. Jason Cummings, Munehisa Yabuki, John B. Leppard, Christi L. Wood, Nancy Maizels, Daniel S. Allison, Larry W. Tjoelker
  • Patent number: 9677070
    Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to the targeting of genes to, and their integration into, an immunoglobulin (antibody) heavy chain locus. In particular, the methods described herein contemplate replacing the single rearranged heavy chain V, D, and J genes of a B cell lymphoma such as DT40 with independently rearranged VH-D-JH genes of chicken, in a system for generating immunoglobulin diversity. Also contemplated is replacement of the chicken VH-D-JH with rearranged VH-D-JH genes of other vertebrates including human in a system for generating immunoglobulin diversity, with the exception of any substitution disclosed and claimed in PCT application WO 2009/029315 A2. Also described is construction of a diverse chicken immunoglobulin heavy chain VDJ library in DT40 by homologous gene replacement of the single endogenous rearranged VDJ gene with a chicken VDJ repertoire using the described targeting vectors.
