Abstract: The invention relates to anti-Tie2 antibodies and methods of using the same.

Abstract: The present invention provides anti-plazomicin antibodies and methods of use thereof, e.g., in determining levels of plazomicin in samples from human patients undergoing treatment with plazomicin. Such antibodies are useful, for example, in monitoring plazomicin levels during treatment for an infectious disease.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for reducing toxicity associated with infection by Clostridium difficile by inhibiting Clostridium difficile toxin B (TcdB) and/or toxin A (TcdA). Such compounds include ebselen compounds, namely ebselen and its salts, ebselen functional analogues and ebselen structural analogues, as well as certain amide derivatives. This includes Formula I, e.g. 1-methyl-3-phenylpropylamine, Formula II, e.g., 2,2?-diselane-1,2-diylbis[N-(2,4-difluorophenyl)benzamide]; and Formula III, e.g. 2-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-1, 2-benzoselenazol-3-one. The present compositions may be comprised in a colon-retentive formulation that increases residence of and/or release of the compound in the area where the infection is active.
