Abstract: Non-human animal cells and non-human animals comprising a humanized Asgr1 locus and methods of using such non-human animal cells and non-human animals are provided. Non-human animal cells or non-human animals comprising a humanized Asgr1 locus express a human ASGR1 protein or an Asgr1 protein, fragments of which are from human ASGR1. Methods are provided for using such non-human animals comprising a humanized Asgr1 locus to assess in vivo efficacy of human-ASGR1-mediated delivery of therapeutic molecules or therapeutic complexes to the liver and to assess the efficacy of therapeutic molecules or therapeutic complexes acting via human-ASGR1-mediated mechanisms.

Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that bind MSR1 and methods of use thereof. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies bind human MSR1 with high affinity. In certain embodiments, the antibodies bind MSR1 without blocking, or blocking less than 90%, of modified LDL binding to MSR1. In some embodiments, the antibodies bind cell surface expressed-MSR1 and are internalized. The antibodies of the invention may be fully human antibodies. The invention includes anti-MSR1 antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, conjugated to drugs or therapeutic compounds.

Abstract: A fully human antibody or antigen-binding fragment of a human antibody that specifically binds and inhibits or interferes with at least one activity of human angiopoietin-like protein 3 (hANGPTL3) is provided. The human anti-hANGPTL3 antibodies are useful in treating diseases or disorders associated with ANGPTL3, such as hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia and dyslipidemia, including hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, chylomicronemia, and so forth. Furthermore, the anti-hANGPTL3 antibodies can be administered to a subject in need thereof to prevent or treat diseases or disorders, for which abnormal lipid metabolism is a risk factor. Such diseases or disorders include cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and coronary artery diseases; acute pancreatitis; nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); diabetes; obesity; and the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating patients suffering from hyperlipidemia, wherein the patient is non-responsive to, inadequately controlled by, or intolerant to treatment with a standard lipid modifying therapy. The methods of the invention provide for lowering at least one lipid parameter in the patient by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds to angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3).

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating or preventing atherosclerosis in a subject. The methods of the present invention comprise administering an inhibitor of angiopoietin-like protein-3 (ANGPTL3) to a subject who has atherosclerosis or is at risk of developing atherosclerosis. In certain embodiments, the ANGPTL3 inhibitor is an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds ANGPTL3.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds or payloads, linker-payloads, antibody-drug conjugates, and compositions, and methods for the treatment of diseases and disorders associated with the liver X receptor, including bis-octahydrophenanthrene carboxamides and protein (e.g., antibody) drug conjugates thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting atherosclerotic plaque formation in a subject. In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention comprise selecting a subject who has, or is at risk of developing, atherosclerosis, and administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor. In certain embodiments, the PCSK9 inhibitor is an anti-PCSK9 antibody, or antigen binding protein.

Abstract: The present invention provides ELISA-based methods for detecting and/or quantifying ANGPTL8 in biological samples using anti-ANGPTL8 antibodies.
