Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides an isolated antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising a bioactive peptide amino acid sequence, wherein the bioactive peptide amino acid sequence is an inhibitor of the complement system and is fused to at least one of: (i) the amino terminal region of at least one of: a light chain variable region and/or a heavy chain variable region; or (ii) the carboxy terminal region of at least one of: a light chain constant region and/or a heavy chain constant region, wherein the antibody inhibits complement activation.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for preventing, treating, reverting and/or delaying angiogenesis in a mammalian subject suffering from, or at risk for developing, an angiogenesis-dependent disease or condition, comprising administering to the subject an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit angiogenesis. In some embodiments of these aspects of the invention, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent is a MASP-2 antibody or fragment thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to MASP-3 inhibitory antibodies and compositions comprising such antibodies for use in inhibiting the adverse effects of MASP-3 dependent complement activation.

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.

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.
