  • Publication number: 20220204642
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel class of antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that bind the extracellular domain of ErbB3 receptor and inhibit various ErbB3 functions. For example, the antibodies and antigen binding fragments described herein are capable of binding to the receptor designated ErbB3 and inhibiting EGF-like ligand mediated phosphorylation of the receptor. Such antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof have the useful characteristic of inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells expressing ErbB3.

  • Patent number: 8440192
    Abstract: Methods for improving the biological and pharmaceutical properties of bispecific binding agents are described herein where the bispecific binding agents are able to target cells by a high affinity binding domain to a first cell surface marker that does not induce a significant biological effect and a low affinity binding domain that binds specifically to a second cell surface marker, causing a significant and desired biological effect. Compositions of such bispecific binding agents, uses for them, and kits containing them are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090246206
    Abstract: Methods for improving the specific binding ability of bispecific binding compositions are described. The bispecific binding compositions are able to target cells by a high affinity targeting domain to a target cell surface marker and a low affinity binding domain that binds specifically to a second cell surface marker, wherein the binding of each domain to its respective cell surface marker increases or decreases, as desired, the biological activity of the respective cell surface markers. The invention further provides bispecific binding agents for use in the methods, as well as uses for the agents.

  • Publication number: 20020182643
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of identifying ligands that are internalized into a cell. The methods typically involve i) contacting the cell with a reporter non-covalently coupled to a ligand; ii) dissociating the reporter from the ligand and removing dissociated reporter from the surface of the cell; and iii) detecting the reporter within said cell (if any is present) where the presence of the reporter within said cell indicates that the ligand binds to an internalizing receptor and is internalized.
