Abstract: The present disclosure encompasses NGF binding proteins, specifically to antibodies that are chimeric, CDR grafted and canonized antibodies, and methods of making and uses thereof. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the disclosure are useful for detecting NGF and for inhibiting NGF activity, e.g., in a mammal subject suffering from a disorder in which NGF activity is detrimental.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are multivalent and multispecific binding proteins, methods of making the binding proteins, and their uses in the diagnosis, monitoring, inhibition, prevention and/or treatment of cancers, tumors, and/or other angiogenesis-dependent diseases diseases characterized by aberrant DLL4 and/or VEGF expression or activity.

Abstract: The invention provides processes for preparing a cell-binding agent chemically coupled to a drug. A first process comprises covalently attaching a linker to a cell-binding agent, an optional purification step, conjugating a drug to the cell-binding agent, a subsequent purification step, and optional holding steps. A second process comprises covalently attaching a linker to a cell-binding agent, a purification step, conjugating a drug to the cell-binding agent, a subsequent purification step. holding steps, and optionally a tangential flow filtration (TFF) step.

Abstract: The disclosure provides binding proteins that specifically bind to IL-1? and IL-1?. These binding proteins can be organized into DVD-Igs. These proteins can be used to modulate the activity of IL-1? and/or IL-1? and can be used for the treatment immunological diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune diseases. In addition, their uses in the amelioration and/or treatment of pain in an individual suffering from a disease or disorder associated with IL-1 accumulation.

Abstract: The invention provides stable aqueous formulations comprising an Aqueous Stable Dual Variable Domain Immunoglobulin (AS-DVD-Ig) protein. The invention also provides stable lyophilized formulations comprising a Lyophilized Stable Dual Variable Domain Immunoglobulin (LS-DVD-Ig) protein.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for targeting maytansinoids to a selected cell population, the method comprising contacting a cell population or tissue suspected of containing the selected cell population with a cell-binding agent maytansinoid conjugate, wherein one or more maytansinoids is covalently linked to the cell-binding agent via a non-cleavable linker and the cell-binding agent binds to cells of the selected cell population.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel benzodiazepine derivatives with antiproliferative activity and more specifically to novel benzodiazepines of formula (I) and (II), in which the diazepine ring (B) is fused with a heterocyclic ring (CD), wherein the heterocyclic ring is bicyclic or a compound of formula (III), in which the diazepine ring (B) is fused with a heterocyclic ring (C), wherein the heterocyclic ring is monocyclic. The invention provides cytotoxic dimers of these compounds. The invention also provides conjugates of the monomers and the dimers. The invention further provides compositions and methods useful for inhibiting abnormal cell growth or treating a proliferative disorder in a mammal using the compounds or conjugates of the invention. The invention further relates to methods of using the compounds or conjugates for in vitro, in situ, and in vivo diagnosis or treatment of mammalian cells, or associated pathological conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stable compositions of anti-NGF antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, and their uses in the prevention and/or treatment of various diseases and disorders in which NGF activity is detrimental, e.g., pain disorders.
