  • Human monoclonal antibodies against protective antigen
    Patent number: 8404820
    Abstract: Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to Anthrax protective antigen are disclosed. The human antibodies can be produced in a non-human transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, capable of producing multiple isotypes of human monoclonal antibodies by undergoing V-D-J recombination and isotype switching. Also disclosed are derivatives of the human antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies and immunoconjugates), pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human antibodies, non-human transgenic animals and hybridomas which produce the human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the human antibodies.

  • Antibodies against human melanoma-associated chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (MCSP)
    Patent number: 8318165
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated antibodies (e.g., humanized or human antibodies) that bind to the membrane-proximal domain (MP) of human Melanoma-Associated Chondroitin Sulphate Proteoglycan (MCSP), and are capable of mediating cytolysis of a cell expressing MCSP in the presence of human effector cells or complement. Methods of using such antibodies to induce cytolysis (e.g., ADCC or CDCC) of cells expressing MP-MCSP are also provided.
