Abstract: The protein known as six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 2 (STEAP2) is highly expressed in prostate cancer and is associated with the expression of other prostate cancer-associated genes. The present invention provides novel full-length human IgG antibodies that bind to human STEAP2 (monospecific antibodies). The present invention also provides novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both STEAP2 and CD3 and activate T cells via the CD3 complex in the presence of STEAP2-expressing tumors. According to certain embodiments, the present invention provides bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds human and monkey CD3, and a second antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds humanSTEAP2. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing STEAP2.

Abstract: Methods of regressing or inhibiting a tumor in a subject by administering an agent capable of blocking, inhibiting, or ameliorating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated activity to a subject in need thereof such that the tumor is regressed or inhibited. The method of the invention results in a reduction of tumor size and inhibition of tumor metastases. This method is particularly useful for patients suffering from bulky, metastatic cancers.

Abstract: Methods of treating anemic disorders in human subjects comprising administering a VEGF antagonist comprising a fusion polypeptide having an immunoglobulin-like (Ig) domain 2 of the VEGF receptor Flt1 and Ig domain 3 of the VEGF receptor Flk1 or Flt4, and a multimerizing component. Further included are methods of preventing anemia, increasing hematocrit levels, and increasing or stimulating erythropoietin, particularly in subjects being treated for cancer with chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation.

Abstract: A process for making branched, internally-unsaturated liquid perfluoroolefins that are oligomers of tetrafluoroethylene and have an empirical formula (C.sub.2 F.sub.4).sub.n where n is an integer of 4 to 7, comprising contacting tetrafluoroethylene under anhydrous conditions with at least one fluoride which is a source of fluoride ions, said fluoride being selected from the group consisting of the normal fluorides, acid fluorides and fluorosulphinates of the metals potassium, rubidium and caesium and normal fluorides of a tetraalkylammonium ion, at a temperature of 20.degree. C to 170.degree. C in the presence of an inert solvent selected from the group consisting of dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, N-methyl pyrrolidone and hexamethylphosphoramide, and recovering said branched, internally-unsaturated liquid perfluoroolefins from the reaction medium.
